      Pros

      None - No one should work here or buy Sage software until they publicly renounce their employee performance management system and actively change the culture for the better.

      Cons

      Penny pinching culture, restrictive PTO policy, and every 6 months to a year 20% are placed on a performance plan regardless of actual objective performance against the job description.

      Thank you for writing your review about Sage. Our rewards, benefits and pay are competitive and I would be interested to hear from you regarding "restrictive PTO" and "penny pinching culture" as we do work hard to ensure we are competitive as possible. Feel free to drop me an email at glassdoor@sage.com. We aspire to have a high performance culture, where colleagues are rewarded for the contribution they make. The performance review process is designed to provide a formal opportunity twice a year between managers and team members to discuss what has been achieved and how results have been achieved. Of course we encourage performance feedback in the moment and regularly as you suggest and the intention is for this to be motivational and corrective too, as necessary. We have lots of opportunities to grow and build your career at Sage, from our leadership programme, to mentoring at Sage to Linda.com. Also, during your development conversation with your manager, use this as an opportunity to discuss how you would like to develop. There are some great tools to guide you in the Sage Academy. Thanks again for your review.

      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.
