Pros

There were pockets of very good people and leaders, a lot of nice local folks. there was a great family culture in Vancouver, seemed quite removed from the NA global culture.

Cons

Overall it felt like a stagnant place to work where a lot of people focus on being conservative and being political, rather than taking risk to be innovative. The Salary was awful given the amount of experience i had. There marketing leadership didn't seem to know what they were doing on the global side, there was a lot of infighting and they lacked innovation.

Thanks for taking time to write your review. As you say there are lots of fantastic colleagues at Sage and many companies state it feels like a family, but you're right, it is like that here. With respect to salary we believe that we are competitive in the market and that there is plenty of opportunity to become successful and earn, plus excel and this was demonstrated by over 100 colleagues and their partners attending our Platinum Elite a couple of weeks ago in Dubai (this year's location for Platinum Elite has just been announced and it's a luxurious resort in Mexico). In terms of innovation, it's great to be part of Sage right now, so much is happening from 5 new accounting cloud solutions across 7 global markets for business of all sizes to tens of thousands of ‘new to Sage’ customers adopting accounting chat bot Pegg in 6 months since launch and over 100 new and fully integrated ISV’s on the Sage Marketplace – building on Sage’s heritage of strong partnerships, including new global relationships with Salesforce, Microsoft, Apple and Slack. We hope you continue to have a successful career and thanks again for writing your review.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
