      Pros

      Corporate safety, very little lay-offs, days off for volunteering activities, flexible schedules (as long as you're not overloaded with work), nice offices, access to several learning platforms and activities

      Cons

      The ways of working for a Tech company are quite outdated, there's too much bureaucracy, too many management layers, senior leadership don't change priorities every day and people in management position that don't understand how software/tech works. No clear strategy per Product. No clear path for promotions. Very little opportunity to grow after you've passed the junior positions. The company or leadership never acts on feedback. Lot's of tech debt and old legacy products.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
