Sage Group Reviews in Vancouver, BC Area

Pros

Good people to work with, good benefits

Cons

Your experience varies greatly by business unit and department

Advice to Senior Management

Stabilize the business as it grows, and don't homogenize everything just for the sake of uniformity.

Pros

Sage pays a OK salary and has good benefits but since sales are poor you need to make sure the base and the benefits are good. Their benefits are decent and they start you at 3 weeks vacation per year. Also, you are rarely visited by senior VPs so you have capability and time to do your own thing or surf the net or get some mid-day work done if needed.

Cons

The manager and VP couldnt sell when they were in the biz so your confidence in some of their weirder proclamations is nil. The old VP was fired and the new-ish guy distracts everyone by appearing tough. Quite a bore, really. The resellers are dolts and unruly too.
In all fairness, you never see the management who probably figured they need to be busy 'networking' to keep their job.

Advice to Senior Management

keep hanging out with product management. Those guys are in your league. At least we have great marketing.

Pros

The benefits are average for this day and age and they give you a starting vacation allowance of 3 weeks.

Cons

Only buddies of the VP or senior VP get promoted. These people do not need to do any work, know anything or reply to email. Everyone else is expected to work hard and pick up for the slackers in product management. The company has no marketing.

Advice to Senior Management

Honestly, you are not qualified. Pick another industry.

Pros

OK benefits, prepare for micromanagement and marketing/product management incompetence (partly because they are more into themselves than have a background in their jobs).

Cons

Egotistical management, incompetent product management who lives in its own 1986 world and lack of respect for sales and downright hostility for those who unlike product management work. sales "managers" were failures in their own sales or never sold software so running around posing.
