Good pay and inclusive values, but poor leadership decisions are eroding morale

Cloud operations engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Competitive salary compared to similar roles in Spain - International environment and the chance to work with global teams -Very inclusive culture — supportive of LGBTQ+ employees, gender equality, and human rights - Some flexibility with working hours

Cons

- The company recently enforced a 3-day office policy with no room for discussion, dismissing how it affects employees' personal lives -The CEO publicly dismissed employees’ concerns about hybrid work policies as “irrelevant” — this goes against the values the company claims to promote - Increasingly disconnected from the human values the company claims to uphold - We're expected to go to the office regularly, but there's no support for travel when collaborating with international teams — which feels inconsistent - Communication from leadership has been blunt and lacks empathy - Employees are encouraged to stay silent rather than voice concerns, which is discouraging

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. If you have any concerns regarding hybrid working, please discuss them with your manager and wider team to ensure you receive the necessary support in adhering to the policy. As a people-centred organisation, we believe that flexible working, which allows for ample face-to-face collaboration, is essential for strengthening our culture and helping all our colleagues thrive.

Pros

Sage really supports your personal and professional balance, including giving you all the capabilities for you to achieve your goals.

Cons

The workload is huge and is way beyond the existing human resources. Recognition at salary scale is not adjusted to your responsibilities, that increase year after year, being the monthly payments way below what you deserve.
