Pros

Benefits- Dental, Vision, Medical, Gym reimbursement. Start with vacation time Overtime available if needed Pay is decent if you can hit goal. Work/Life balance is good

Cons

Company is becoming to vested in the shareholders rather than the employees. Doubling or even tripling goals from the previous year without making improvements to the product- and at the same time increasing the price of the product 2 to 4 times a year. Micro-managing is ridiculous because of the impossible-to-hit goals. Sage puts on a facade of being a huge family and "OneSage", but again, all of its changes are for the shareholders, not the employees. Too many changes happen in a year with compensation.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the benefits and feel you have a good work-life balance. That is important no matter where you work. It’s true that we set the bar high, and the introduction of our cloud products will not only bring huge benefits to our customers, but assist in our sales team in achieving their goals as well. We have many changes over the past couple of years, and like most companies, we are always looking for ways that we can improve our colleague experience. Your feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated.

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.
