Nothing human and all lies - Senior Software Engineer Sage Employee Review

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review and we are very sorry to read that you did not feel like we were living up to our Human value. We really value our colleagues and would never want them to ever feel replaceable or like they don't matter to us. The team agreements that are in place are to encourage colleagues to come together and collaborate both with their teams and cross functionally. We take your point that there are times diaries are stacked with Teams calls but we are empowering our colleagues to be Bold and to find opportunities for in-person meetings so that days in the office are spent connecting face to face. That might not always be possible and there could be times when there are crucial meetings that require input from teams that, at that moment, can only connect online but this is not all the time. For our hybrid working framework to work as intended, we need our colleagues to come together because we truly believe that great things happen when that human connection is in force. The layoffs we had caused us to lose incredible people and the decisions around them were not taken lightly because of this outcome. It was very hard for us to see people go but in order for us to remain committed to effectively delivering on the promises we make to our stakeholders, we needed to change the structure of how we operated in certain areas of the business. We are sad that you felt you needed to leave Sage but we wish you all the best for the future and should our paths cross again someday, we hope to make you proud to be part of us!
