Pros

- The team I work with has fantastic colleagues that I love working with and can look up to - Working with modern technologies is challenging and rewarding

Cons

- The organization structure is a mess and there is a disconnect between upper management and the engineers creating the products that fill those upper management pockets. - Upper management has no idea about any of the technologies used, their purposes, their limitations, or capabilities and expects engineers to create incredible solutions with limited funding and many constraints. - Engineering teams are on the backburner for both funding and acknowledgement. The company does not exist with the products and solutions we create but we never see any inkling of the profits generated nor thanks for the work we do. How can we expect to implement and try new techniques and technologies when we can't get proper funding to get training? - Communications between teams is chaos, there are some teams that are fantastic and will reply to you while partnering on a project. However, there are teams that are definitely dysfunctional, under-staffed, and managed improperly that cause constant delays and issues. - The recent layoffs were such a morale booster for the company, nothing like hearing your close coworkers randomly laid off in the middle of a Tuesday. We're so happy that we have to now take over the workloads of everyone you've gotten rid of and absolutely radiant about not being paid any extra for that. And now that all the talent is gone the company can hire new low level/associates to fill the positions for cheaper.

Pros

Good benefits package Interesting work Good work life balance Very flexible

Cons

They have recently advised of "restructuring" into areas that focus on future growth. The way this has happened has been totally baffling considering how we keep hearing how well they have done. They are also potentially removing people from areas which have the same focus where they want to align which I can not understand. They claim to care about their employees yet they do this. I used to love working here but I have lost all trust and faith in any senior management now and I think that will be reflected in the next employee satisfaction survey as a lot of people are starting to feel the same now.

Thanks for your review. As you say, we have recently made some decisions about the roles and skills that Sage will need as we move forward. We are removing some positions to rebalance our investments towards our strategic priorities and simplify the business. This will require us to continue shifting our investments towards those foundational areas to Sage’s long-term success. Our strategy and plans are about investing in progress from a position of strength and getting in the best shape possible for our customers’ needs in the future. We understand how difficult this news is for our colleagues, especially those impacted, and it is not a decision that we have taken lightly. Affected colleagues will be offered outplacement support and the chance to apply for other roles within Sage. Please use available confidential listening surveys to highlight your concerns; this will better understand how we can support you and other colleagues.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are very glad to hear that you enjoy the people with whom you work; however, we are disappointed to hear that this same enjoyment does not extend to your feelings of management. We hope that you have shared your thoughts on our recent Pulse Survey and other channels within the company to raise concerns, but if you have not, we empower you to do so. Your voice matters to all of us as we continue to make Sage a better place to work.
