Sage reviews

Very autocratic leadership who don’t empower anyone. Leadership lack any strategic ability so only focus on short term decisions Disproportionate hiring at senior level whilst those in lower layers trying to deliver are stripped to the bone and burnt out Annual random redundancy rounds to meet financial targets often from critical depts which leave remaining colleagues burnt out and operational quality completely compromised. No change management expertise which is a big miss for a company trying to constantly transform Mandated 3 day RTO which was implemented very coldly. Demotivating bonus scheme where financial targets are higher than those communicated to the market and are never released to colleagues. No one knows what needs to be achieved to reach target payout, but every year they tell the market we have reached target but colleagues get payout well below target. Needs rectifying if you want the bonus to actually encourage colleagues to push harder. Don’t live their values of Human, Trust and Bold. Ultimately a company which is very confused about its trying to be and isn’t really honest with itself about what it is.

Wow, the RTO 3-day policy is turning out to be a logistical nightmare. The traffic heading into the office is the worst I've ever seen, with delays of up to 30 minutes. And parking? It's a complete mess—Sage really didn't think this through. If next week is anything like this one, I'll be turning around or finding the nearest café to work from. Overall, it's been a total waste of time, impacting my work/productivity and general well-being since I've had to work late at home to catch up. There's been no magical "collaboration" or quality "in-person" time. Everyone I've spoken to is annoyed, so it's safe to say morale is way down. What was once a progressive organization is now regressing rapidly. We'll lose fantastic colleagues to forward-thinking organizations that embrace the technological age and trust their employees as adults to manage their own time and choose where they thrive best. We're back in the dinosaur age.
