Pros

Starting out at Sage will give you contacts and the skills to thrive in a lot of other businesses. Totally different experience depending on who your manager is, but my advice would be throw yourself into it and take it as one huge learning opportunity, make friends and contacts and use every resource/ training they'll give you. Fair pay, fair bonus, fair benefits. A role like this will change your life if you put enough into it.

Cons

Working at Sage will be a shock to your system if you're not used to being managed, its a huge machine and you're a cog. If you have issues with authority or being told what to do (sometimes genuinely minute by minute through tracking, KPI's etc) then tech support at Sage is not for you.

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.
