Sage reviews

- Don't trust everyone. Someone you think you can confide in may end up stabbing you in your own back. - Promotions are non-existent. You'll be told to jump through countless hoops, drink the kool-aid, even get positive performance reviews (exceeds, not just a good meets). But promotions are still a myth. There were hiring freezes, promotion freezes, re-orgs, etc. which time after time was never the right time to promote. You end up hanging on to a twinkle of a promise that this is the place you can grow your career, as you were told, almost promised, in your interview, but NO! Move on, and don't get caught up waiting, or be unlucky to be caught on the wrong end of a re-org. - Managers are great, but senior managers and executives are pretty much clueless. It starts at the very top and runs down. There's no dealing with these types of people. So again, move on when you can before it's too late. - The online products are a joke. Hardly no customers and yet they talk about how they are investing in these products and the people. huh? Firstly there's no investment anywhere! Only cuts! Training course after training course and seminar requests all get denied! Not just a single person, but everyone. Every single request! That's not investing in your people! Not hiring people that left or hiring positions that are desperately needed is also not what one would call investing in the product. So it would be interesting to know what and where this mythical investment is. - Lots of talk about myths. Yes, that's all it is. Smoke and mirrors, again starting at the top with the CEO who thinks he's the captain of this great fantastic ship called the Titanic. Little does he know he's running it into an iceberg. He may have hit the iceberg already but doesn't know it yet. But it will happen. Will the captain save himself and jump ship leaving the boat to sink? Probably yes, but not until 2020 when he collects his big fat bonus tied to stock price. - Very cliquey. Especially at the senior management level. Cannot believe I wasted so much of my career at this place! Glad to be gone!

When signing up for this company, you're going to get sold an open, career oriented and customer focused environment with incentives. You'll quickly realize that this was a trap for the following reasons: - There is no advancement even if you are in the top performers of your team. You will fill in a fantastic career growth plan with your manager that you'll never hear about ever again. - You'll get overwhelm with work because even though the core value of this company is "customer first", they are only focused on getting their investors happy which means high revenue and low expenses so short staff and frustrated customers is the day to day routine there. - The CEO or president will fly in from the UK once a year to let you know how proud he is and how good of a job you made and one month later, your manager will announce you that there will be no bonuses and all that good work you did was for nothing. - Looking for good work/life balance, working from home, time off to see your family during the holidays? The answer is NO. Blackout period during holidays and in the middle of summer plus most of your day off request denied because the company operates at barely minimum staff. - The company will never adjust your salary so if you work there for a couple years, you'll realize newbies will be making more money then you do. - You're performance oriented and good at generating leads? Great, you'll get rewarded with dollar store garbage. - You're bilingual? Definitely a plus but wait! You'll get no extra money for this skill and you'll get terrible working hours. So overall, if you are ambitious, hard working and looking for a real career with good work/life balance, I would strongly recommend you to look somewhere else.
