Pros
Sage started off by acquiring companies and let each business units continue to develop their products and their culture. They then implement One Sage which was relatively painless because in most cases it is just brand changes for the products but unify the Sage brand. Now they focus on the Cloud which is the right direction for the company as a whole. Although getting into the Cloud/Saas is the right direction, not all product line are at the same pace towards it. It really is a give and take because I saw the ones that are not there yet, are the ones that are relatively stable with regards to the people. The product lines that are actually making progress are the ones also with high turn over rate. The extended health coverage is quite good. In most cases it covers 100% on physio, Charo, etc. There is also RRSp employer matching as well.
Cons
There is enough said of the performance review here on Glassdoor. What's really sad was that I saw nice people turning defensive because of all the stress. What's more is the lack of rewards for the top 20%. I saw someone who truly deserves a promotion but left because he didn't get it. I am not 100% sure if really most people don't get bonus. I was seating randomly with three colleagues one day and all of them sounded like they are getting something. (Or may be they haven't realized it yet). However, like many who already mentioned here, hitting the external financial target and then post a video online telling us we didn't meet the internal one is just low. Overall, like those 24hr fast food places and banks that now open on Sundays, as consumers or shareholders we might like them, but we won't want to work there.
