A few bad apples

Pros

In general, the people are all very good to work with. They're smart, considerate and helpful. The company, because of its size and the fact that it grew by acquisition, was a bit bureaucratic although it did have good internal support and infrastructure. Its a successful company, but almost too successful because that allowed it to be wasteful and slow moving business wise. Still, you can't argue with success, right?

Cons

Like all companies, there are a "few bad apples" that spoils or poisons everything they touch. Unfortunately, these bad apples are great at self-promotion and hiding their ineptitude. They always seem to cast dispersion or blame others for their failings. They're also ruthless at getting rid of people they fear or feel threaten by, no matter how good or valuable that person is to the company. I had one of these guys for a manager and you can guess what happened to me.

Pros

The benefits were great (low cost health insurance, 401k, short term disability). Also....many people were allowed to work remotely and provided flexible work hours.

Cons

Sage NA is a huge company and each division is ran differently. My experiences at one division is most likely different then the experiences at another. At my division......there was a HUGE disconnect between employees and management. Goals and forecasting was a top down approach and often times, you would start the year without even seeing your yearly quota. Management never engaged employees or customers or input. There was also huge turn over in upper management and their replacements weren't much better. Employee engagement and morale is extremely low. Very few employees care about the company and frequently maintain the status quo. The company/division overall lacks innovation and vision to become a first rate company. Last, the company cares very little about the community or environment, wasting thousands of pages of paper without recycling.

Pros

Good benefits. Great work environment.

Cons

Telephone support is hard enough as it is. First tier customer support analyst get the short end of the stick. They are first responders, but have only 30 min to solve the problem. If they don't they are kicked to the curb. When it's Monday morning and you are dealing with someone who has had a problem since Friday, the first 15 minutes is them complaining about the product. Not Fair.
