Pros

I think what makes a good company "good" is highly subjective and mostly based on our expectations and experiences. I'm quite confident to say that Sage is on the good side of the spectrum. I've recently returned from a week Working Away in the US through Sage's 10-weeks work away scheme. My mum currently lives there and being able to spend time with her has been incredibly valuable. Other pros of working at Sage includes: - great benefits - Save and Share scheme - hybrid working model - personal development days and volunteering days - investment in your skills though workshops, learning modules, events and conferences.

Cons

Like any other company, there are of course areas in which Sage could improve. For instance, one can be alignment within the leadership team when setting out OKRs, strategic goals. Others include more snacks and incentives for employees to come to the office. Perhaps offset/subsidise costs such as food or transportation.I'd say that the salary is fair but not competitive compared to other industry players.

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.
