      Pros

      Competitive salaries Intensive working hours on Fridays (9 am to 3 pm) and in July-August (8am to 3 pm) (Up to 15% of salary) Bonus based on company + individual results Up to 10 weeks of work from abroad Solid company Nice colleagues (can’t say the same about managers)

      Cons

      Mandatory 3 days a week at the office Difficult (or impossible) to get promoted Lot of hyerarchy, managers often disconnected from reality, don’t even know what they want, always setting unrealistic expectations and deadlines (in one word, toxic management)

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts — we value your feedback and your voice. We understand that hybrid working can feel different for everyone, and we want to reassure you that our approach is designed to strengthen our people-centred culture. Being together in person for part of the week helps us build deeper connections, collaborate more effectively, and maintain the vibrant culture that makes Sage special — while still offering flexibility and balance. On career development, we’re proud to be hitting our internal mobility targets and are committed to helping colleagues grow in meaningful ways. We encourage you to explore the Sage Talent Marketplace, where you can take on short-term gigs across different teams, connect with mentors to sharpen your skills, and uncover new career paths you might not have considered. You can also reach out to our Talent Acquisition team for a career conversation — they’re here to help you navigate your ambitions and discover roles that align with your goals. We know that career journeys aren’t always linear, and many colleagues have found success through “squiggly careers” — exploring different areas and building a path that’s uniquely theirs. Thanks again for your feedback. If you have more to share, we’d love to hear it through our internal Always Listening survey.

      Pros

      Working at Sage these past 4 years has been both rewarding and energizing. I’ve really valued the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across the business while helping evolve our Developer Content organization into a broader developer experience and AI-enabled function. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing how open people are to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s been exciting to contribute to initiatives that improve both internal workflows and the experience for our developer community. I’m grateful for the relationships, growth opportunities, and trust I’ve been given throughout the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

      Cons

      With so much innovation and transformation happening across the company, priorities can evolve quickly — but it also creates exciting opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute to meaningful change.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
