I have been working at Sage Group
Pros – Co-workers are really nice, capable people. Products are good. Customers really need the types of products and services Sage Health provides.
Cons – Leadership cannot execute and do not have a strategy that aims towards 'winning'. Current management is coasting on previous successes. Employees lack incentives to excel.
Advice to Senior Management – Sage Healthcare needs executives who know their products and are accountable for their results

Pros – Opportunities to grow if you are willing to put the time and effort into the work that you do.
Cons – In my area there are not enough people to do the work thoroughly and on time. Burnout and work life balance is a common problem.
Advice to Senior Management – Senior management is fairly new to the company and so far has made great strides in undoing all the wrong decisions that earlier management made. I have full confidence that they will lead us in turning into the company we want to be, the company that we should and can be. I know that it will take time and look forward to the changes to come.

Pros – Full-time employees start with 3-weeks paid vacation and full benefits from the first day of hire, plus 401k matching at 50%. The company as a whole wants to grow employees and structures personal growth plans around goals of employee. It's the largest of the small-to midsize business ERP software provider in the world.
Cons – It's software--so a lot of the programs have issues, it is frustrating to know you work in a place which has poor QA. The job overall is quite boring and full of meetings.
Advice to Senior Management – Do a better job of getting employees excited or even happy to work there--better communication and moral boosting.

I have been working at Sage Group
Pros – Interesting products to support, people to work with. The co is full of very smart people that worked with the various SW products that Sage bought. Once Sage bought though, top people were cut, product quality dropped and the fun stopped.
Cons – Lack of direction, too many acquisitions. The co has too many similar products and lots of confusion re: the main product for each georgraphic market. Money and time should be spent getting their act together.
Advice to Senior Management – Consolidate
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Sage Group
Pros – In the Healthcare Division, if you personally network and reach out, the possibility exists to learn more over time. Otherwise your day can feel like a numbers game and I don't mean the kind in your paycheck.
Cons – Stretched way beyond capacity not only your position but continued company realignments & restructuring lead to delays in personal & business communications/actions. Be prepared to pave your own way on a career path outside of the company as promotions & individual recognition is extremely limited, outside of Sales.
Advice to Senior Management – Senior Management is just that...."Senior". Out of touch, persistent circulation of the same managers - just title changes. No movement of ideas generated by client-interfaced employees.

Pros – NIce group of people, good product
Cons – Overloaded organization, needs to be streamlined and cleaned up. There seems to be a lot of people that forgot how to think a bit openly, and this gets in the way of getting things done efficiently. Also, many positions now seem to be unnecessary and are perhaps leftovers from previous hiring crazes.
Advice to Senior Management – Think proactively and progressively. Stop making expensive changes for small customers with connections and think more efficiently for the good of the customer base and the overall product.

I worked at Sage Group full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Great HQ facility and workplace with people who are genuinely committed to working hard and having fun whilst doing it.
Cons – UK Executive team is a clique of people who lack vision, direction and substance. Consequently, the organisation meanders through mediocrity. If they had any serious competition in their sector the arrogance and complacency would be exposed.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop spending all your time spouting management nonsense, employ more people outside the internal clique & actually execute some big ideas.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
