      Pros

      Great team and managers. good pay.

      Cons

      There are four times laid off since joining the company two years ago. Despite having worked there for two years, my severance pay has only been two weeks. It's crucial to have a backup plan in place when joining this company. Upper management appears to undervalue the hard work of lower-level employees and frequently turns to budget cuts and layoffs to boost revenue in the short term. However, this strategy ultimately leads to the company spending a significant amount of money on third-party agencies in the long run. Ever since the UK acquired Intacct six years ago, Sage has continuously cut the Intacct workforce. US employees are working under pressure due to the constant threat of layoffs.

      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.
