First time in my 25 year career do I feel the requirement to leave a review on Glassdoor to warn others thinking about joining sage software. Promised high bonus at interview, which was just a lie, I smashed all my targets/objectives and got £0 Never before have I witness or experienced shocking behaviour. New Northern Europe Managing Director joined, left after 6 months. Fastest evolving door in tech, most people want to leave within 3 – 6 months of joining. I had no on-boarding, look’s brilliant from the outside, family days, charity time, but all done for a positive spin to cover up the toxic culture. They do have foundation days, but the whole team was told couldn’t attend any as too short staffed, but to 50% vacancies which they couldn’t fill. 80% of VP/Director time is marketing themselves on Linkedin / Twitter taking selfies Bullying is rife across the whole company driven from VP’s who only have interest in themselves looking good. I had my first holiday at month 10, got made to feel terrible for taking any time off and spent the whole time on holiday responding to emails. Unethical performance management, people are put on “needs improvement” positioned as a way to make you a better manager, but it’s just a way for Sage to get rid of people who don’t fit into the boy’s club. Sage, think’s it’s a performance environment by saying it, but it is the furthest away from being a performance environment. Customers are leaving to competitors like Xero / Quickbooks at an alarming rate. Senior people working out of the Shard in London they think they care about small business, but just focus on software price increases and pulling forward annual subscriptions to ensure they hit the numbers. (contract realignment) CEO is the ultimate spin doctor to ensure the market doesn’t look under the hood. Real shame as was a great company, but all the real talent is leaving at an alarming rate like their customers. I hope Sage fixes these issues quickly, I was once a customer and been friends with lots of the people that made Sage the market leader.
