Thanks for taking time to write your review. We agree that Sage has lots of amazing colleagues and really pleased t o hear you had a great worklife balance. Yes, the Sage Foundation gives colleagues a fantastic opportunity to help local charities, so it's a win-win. Having worked here previously, you're aware we are going through organisational change. This will enable us to to be stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before and leapfrog our competition. We recognise not everyone will be happy with changes – it’s not easy. We are currently in the process of pulling together a ‘Leading at Sage’ program which will be available for all managers, it will focus on the ‘people management’ aspects to their role, it will also aim to keep them up-to-date on our latest products and technologies as it is important all Sage colleagues are 'product champions’. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

*Good work-life balance *Company flexible in many terms: salary, PTO, benefits *Great people in some areas, very knowledgeable, happy to support, to share their knowledge

Cons

*Poor leadership team, old-fashioned, most of major so-called leaders are +50, no fresh blood. *Command-and-control organization, very mission driven but midle-management not able to get the ball rolling *Promotion schemes unclear, reward and recognition not in place therefore having a very poor talent management process *Very low level of confidence between the different organization layers

Thank you for sharing your review. Our colleagues are an integral part of Sage, we couldn’t put our customers first without you working so hard. As a current colleague, you are aware we are undertaking a period of organisational change to make us stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before. We recognise not everyone will be happy with changes – it’s not easy. Some of the changes we are making will ensure talent management is at the heart of our people processes. Also reward and recognition is important to all of us. We are committed to making improvements to enhance the lives of our colleagues. Thank you once again for sharing your view, employee feedback is very important to us. I would urge you to speak to your manager as well.
