Sage Reviews

Pros

I started in May and from the beginning it has been a great experience. I felt welcomed immediately by the folks I support as well as others I don't directly work with. It is a very supportive environment. The onboarding process was very thorough, which was very helpful. We work in the office as well as work from home and having that flexibility is super helpful.

Cons

I think the only downside for me is the medical insurance. It isn't as extensive as my previous employers.

Pros

good pay great benefits great people focus on customer Implementing tools to allow removal of obstacles

Cons

working on removing obstacles but still work in progress allow customers easier access to Sales

Pros

* Company has modern progressive policies * On-call is not that stressful, more routine

Cons

Where to start at Intacct, it depends on what team you are on and manager, overall the company uses a fairly ancient legacy system and has been attempting to modernize it to follow a microservice model. The Devops culture present is not "great", employees get blamed for minor mishaps and there aren't enough processes for post-mortems and misalignment between operations and development teams. Communication is very limited -- colleagues share little information when it impacts your work and this makes teamwork challenging. Condescending, micromanagement style is outdated from the 90s like a copy-cat of Oracle bureaucratic systems. Colleagues I knew had low morale or quit from incompetent leadership and lack of trust between ICs and mgmt. . Even different teams would fight and the one with the loudest voice would win -- toxicity would spread like wildfire from contagious interactions.

Pros

Colleagues, benefits, time off and time to volunteer

Cons

Certain teams do not collaborate and block others from participating. They hide information, have meetings where only certain people are invited. Not everyone can do every job. We have a diversity of talent that is not being leveraged because of territorial battles. It's an interesting observation that a certain team of all men, only invites men to their meetings. It's a curious pattern.

Pros

Had a great experience with this company

Cons

Nothing bad about working here its a great opp.

Pros

Good benefits and good pay

Cons

Leadership often conducts layoffs with little thought. There is a high turnover rate in leadership and everyone want to make their mark and change things up. This leads to a ping-ponging affect where decisions are done and undone and redone again etc. Long-term success is not a concern of theirs based on the way they lead.

Pros

Intacct team at the San Jose office is amazing, smart, innovative and a true Silicon Valley’s child. There’s still some good folks there but most have already been cut out of the picture.

Cons

Management is the worst I have ever seen. From the top down, this UK company will do what it takes to support their own legacy company while cutting off Intacct employees who work so hard to put Intacct on the map. Intacct was thriving until Sage bought it, then they drove it to the ground, layoff and relocate the headquarter to Atlanta. They bought out the competition and basically killed the team and product. They layoff the Intacct team in different stages/ timeline to avoid the mandatory Cal-WARN, which is the state version of the federal WARN Act, is triggered by 50 or more layoffs of covered employees within a rolling 30-day window. The 60-day notice requirement also applies when the business is terminating operations or relocating its operations 100 miles or more away.

Pros

There are still some hard working and customer focused people left and want to make a difference Intacct is still a top financial and accounting software solution

Cons

Intacct was a thriving and growing company with one of the smartest go to market strategies that I've seen. The leadership was strategic, customer focused and truly cared about employees. It had one of the best corporate cultures that I've ever worked in. Once Intacct was absorbed into Sage, everything changed in a complete 180 degrees. Decisions from leadership are made spontaneously without warning, reason or logic, and with very little or no communication. The Intacct culture of customer focus and business growth clashes with the Sage culture of just "checking boxes". I've watched top down decisions made without input or proper information that were detrimental to customers and the business overall. There's constant change for changes sake, and frequent layoffs. Discombulated people that are left are demoralized, especially those that came from the Intacct culture.

Pros

Great benefits, good products, flexible work/life balance

Cons

Layoffs and changes causing major disruptions

Pros

Smart people to work with in the San Jose office Fast-paced environment to work in Cloud services is a growing industry so there's plenty of work, projects, and product launches to work on

Cons

High-level positions were filled by UK-based employees or new employees from the UK- didn't seem like they considered any existing US executives. This was really de-motivating as there isn't a path for career growth in the company. They spent millions on an annual sponsorship of MLB (with little proven impact on B2B cloud software and related buyer behavior/purchasing), yet at the same time layed off significant numbers of employees. The CEO actually admitted he knows nothing about the rules. Everything about it = boondogle.
