      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.

      Terrible CEO

      Pros

      I would have said the pro was working remotely, but that was taken away, despite meeting all of our goals.

      Cons

      Our team met all sales goals for FY22 while working from home. Our reward? Forcing us to come into the office two days every week, adding many hours to our day commuting, which is unpaid and comes out of our free time.

      Gone from employee centric to fear based

      Pros

      I have a job (for however long that lasts). There used to be a lot of pros but they are now cons.

      Cons

      Used to be very employee focused but with the recent layoffs and they horrible way that they were handled, Sage has stricken fear into employees and made us all acutely aware that their jobs are no longer secure. Upper management has destroyed all trust with it's employees with recent actions. Customer Service week was a big deal and would give employees snacks/swag but this year Sage just completely ignored it. Fiscal Year Kickoff was also a big deal and employees usually received a shirt to hoodie. Again, this year it was basically ignored and downplayed by Sage. Made the announcement that there would be layoffs and than made everyone wait a month to see if they would be laid off or not. No chance at promotion. Especially if you are of a certain color/sex.

      Thank you for your review. The experience of our colleagues is a central priority for Sage, as is the experience of our customers and other stakeholders. As you say, we have recently made some decisions about the roles and skills that Sage will need as we move forward, and we understand how difficult these changes are for our colleagues. We believe that how people are treated as they leave the business is a test of our values and culture, and affected colleagues have been offered outplacement support and the chance to apply for other roles within Sage. We understand that we can continually improve and encourage you to provide feedback to your manager or via Always listening surveys to highlight your concerns regarding business changes and promotion opportunities. Diversity, inclusivity, and fairness are at the core of our culture. We have an ongoing focus on ensuring diversity of thought and experience across Sage, including a fair approach to progression and opportunities for development.
