Pros

Sage NA is a great place to work - friendly, helpful co-workers, cool offices that are very laid back, competitive pay, excellent benefits, travel, paid training/certifications, and in my experience, middle management knows their stuff and leaves you to do your work in peace as long as you're meeting your delivery goals, but still knows how to give you a (deserved) gentle boot if you're slacking.

Cons

Executive officers come and go or are shuffled around constantly, entire offices get closed, corporate vision shifts.... It's difficult to move forward career-wise when you end up in a new department/manager every two years or so. I understand the demands for a business of this nature to stay relevant & profitable requires adaptation, but it gets to a point where you're tap dancing on quicksand. I'm sure this will all settle down soon enough.

Thank you for taking time to write your review. We agree with you that Sage is a great place to work - the new offices look awesome and our colleagues are just the best! As a business we recognize that change is needed, it's not always comfortable, but as we focus on the end goal (customers first, One Sage), we will be a great and powerful team. Thanks again and we wish you every success with your career.

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.
