Disappointing Decline in Colleague-Centred Values

Pros

There are some solid benefits, including healthcare and pension plans. There are also pockets of career development opportunities if your face fits. Some colleagues genuinely want to make a difference, and a collaborative spirit exists within some departments despite the limitations created by top-down mandates. However, these positives are often overshadowed by restrictive policies that undermine flexibility and morale.

Cons

The recently enforced three-day-a-week office mandate feels like a deliberate move towards forced attrition, with little regard for employee needs or work-life balance. Leadership appears out of touch with the realities of day-to-day work and seems far more interested in controlling teams than actually listening to what boosts productivity and satisfaction. This mandate feels like a quick fix for visibility rather than a long-term, employee-focused strategy. The disconnect between leadership and the workforce is palpable, with a “bums on seats” mentality taking priority over any real focus on improving employee morale or engagement. It’s disappointing to see Sage ignore the positive strides made during the remote work period, which makes it harder to see the company as a truly progressive or colleague-first workplace.

We appreciate your feedback and have read through your comments. Please note that our hybrid working approach is an important element of the way we work at Sage that is complemented by other benefits such as paid time to volunteer, the ability to work away for up to 10 weeks a year and free well-being support tools. We recently also answered several colleagues' questions about the new 3-day policy. In doing so, we've shed more light on how colleagues will be supported as they adhere to our updated hybrid structure. More information about what we offer can be found here https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Benefits/Sage-United-Kingdom-Benefits-EI_IE1150.0,4_IL.5,19_IN2.htm - Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We’ll continue to work hard to improve how we enable colleagues to thrive.

Pros

PTO is decent but that is about it.

Cons

The nepotism here runs rampant. I cannot believe how many executives hire their kids or family members. Without divulging too much, a member of the c suites kid and all their friends have cushy jobs and limited accountability for anything.

Pros

-A lot of PTO (with the newly implemented no capping policy) -Relatively lax call-out policy (so calling in late or absent one day won't affect you horribly) -Helpful coworkers -Free access to the building's (small) gym -Internal rewards points for sales referrals that you can redeem for things such as gift cards

Cons

-Don't expect bonuses -The support department often gets overlooked in favor of sales -Pay isn't great compared to what other companies pay for the same position -Not a lot of ability for upward or even lateral movements in the company. You either completely change departments or change companies. -Inadequate training for newer hires -High call volume most of the time -Disconnect from upper management on the concerned and needs of employees -Lack of collaboration among integral customer facing departments
