      Pros

      Complimentary coffee and tea Free parking Safe and clean work environment

      Cons

      A lot of bureaucracy No room for advancement Lack of leadership and vision All the products are really old using dated technologies Poor vacation policy (you are forced to take time off very often) Performance metrics are non-sense and anybody can easily end up on the chopping block Lack of autonomy (micromanagement is highly prevalent)

      Thanks for your review. Sorry to hear things were not great for you whilst at Sage. We work hard to ensure our people love working here and have lots of initiatives in place to make Sage a great place to work. One Sage was introduced to help smash the silos and reduce bureaucracy. Our kick-offs last October ensured every colleague understood our mission and vision and how we would achieve it - backed up twice a month with Sage Live TV and the live Q&A. Our Sage Academy is a great place to learn & develop yourself and we actively encourage colleagues to be the best they can be - our new 'Your Sage' Intranet has a new careers section to help with career development. I wish you every success with your career.

      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.
