Pros

Sage is an amazing place to lose yourself in glorious mediocrity. All of the highly qualified competent employees don’t last more than a year or so. So, join up and just hang in there. Soon you will be a Director or VP. You may be doing mundane drudgery work on go nowhere products… But hey, you will be the king of all of the products nobody wants, and even fewer people can sell. Perfect for the person who feels intimidated by success or happiness. Also, we are close to the airport that 98% of the employees will never need to go to for business. One last pro, we have an amazing HR dept that can spend money to hide the poor reviews and the CEOs bad rating here. Seems like an excellent use of money, I really can’t blame them.

Cons

The list here is pretty extensive. I would recommend sorting the reviews by date and start reading. Some of the highlights if you don’t have time. Zero direction from sales/marketing all the way to engineering. Unqualified upper management. Nobody has a clue how to move forward. In fact they are in a perpetual state of analysis paralysis. As I search for a new job, I hope my next place is able to attract competent senior management. I am fairly certain our existing president of North America was given the job because the short list for applicants was short to the point of being nonexistent. There is apparently an interim CTO for North America as well that I have been told has earned the position by actually accomplishing nothing (see above). Good for him I say. Over in sales and marketing the chaos is just as bad. We do our best but really have no idea what to do next.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
