Pluspunten

One Sage lifer said: "We have no leadership. So we play a lot of golf." Easy to sell to under 100 employees organizations, even though executive team will push for up market (up to 200 employees.) There is so much confusion, that leads so much change, that execs have accepted their fate: we will lose deal after deal. So expectations low and dropping.

Minpunten

Management changed their titles to appear as VPs for prospect calls. No onboarding, no training, so your manager will be clueless. Morale cannot get lower, but it does. Of 12 reps on my team, 1 person has made sales, and the ISR team is devoted to his patch and in 3 years, all total, he is not close to quota for 1 year. Team sales meetings covered critical items such as: how to use email, how to call a prospect and ask for employee count rather than flying on-site, and when to use an SC (most reps had the SCs do most everything.)

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
