      The work remains good, but what was a positive, people-focused culture is evapourating

      Pros

      My team are great! Since joining I've worked with some absolutely great people, who are properly supportive, know their stuff, always have time to jump on a call and talk over a problem. I've also been part of super exciting projects, with what feels like very new tech and solutions. I've taken up more and more responsibility and feel I've really grown a lot in my short time here so far.

      Cons

      The culture isn't what it used to be... I used to find communication from the higher ups regular, honest and transparent. Now it's super mirky. I feel big decisions and changes come out of nowhere. It's not a massive deal, but it's definitely changed the feel/culture. I don't think I trust the EVPs, VPs and Cs anymore. Best example of this is progression. People keep asking when the hiring freeze will be lifted, and the response is always along the lines of "there is no freeze on hiring/progression and never has been". This is the party line that people are being told to say, but the reality is that my team lead (and many others across the company) have been pushing for progressions for over a year and keep getting palmed off. So, the situation is that either the Directors, EVPs and other high ups who sit above my team lead simply don't actually have the clout to push a progression through (which would be worrying at that level), or we're just being straight up lied to.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to know that you felt Sage was a good start to your career but also, we are sorry you did not have a more fulfilling experience. We have enforced team agreements all across the business and these bring to life our hybrid working framework by requiring our colleagues to go into the office 2-3 days a week for two reasons, collaboration and the promotion of their social wellbeing. If our paths are to cross again, we hope that you will find a greater difference in the spirit of colleague collaboration here. Also, for mentorship and other personal development needs, we now have our Talent Marketplace in full gear giving colleagues the support they need to thrive. Once again, thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We wish you all the best in the next chapter of your career!
