Pros

as a fellow co-wor.. colleague* mentioned below, Sage does have some pretty awesome office chairs and top-of-the-line doors. another neat feature of this company is their all-hands pow-wows, which usually consists of some top brass trying to create excitement and a positive environment using outdated buzz words, resulting in crickets from the peanut gallery. its pretty amusing hearing their struggle. the free snacks that follow these uplifting hours of life that we'll never get back are probably the only other pro to this place, besides the chairs and doors. and pens. pens so great, jordan belfort couldn't even sell them to you

Cons

sir richard branson will be in attendance this year at sage summit. ill be anxious to see all of the baffled looks on the top brass faces when he talks about why companies should put their employees first and customers second. im willing to bet they'll just nod in agreement (to disagree) and sweep it under the rug like they do everything else.

Thank you for taking time to post your review. I am sorry you feel Sage doesn’t value its employees. As a current colleague, you are aware we are undertaking a period of organisational change to make us stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before. Change is unsettling and can affect people in various ways. Sage truly values each and every colleague. We know we cannot deliver fantastic new products, respond to customers, and drive our business forward without every colleague working together. We work hard to find ways to reward and recognise employees from the Platinum Elite scheme at the top end, to generous benefits at the other - right to saying ‘thank you’ or ‘good job’. It’s not just about benefits and rewards, it’s about recognising and appreciating our colleagues – we do this, but always open to suggestions about how we can do this better. As you are a current colleague, I urge you to speak with your manager. Thanks again for your feedback.

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.
