Pros

Great work life balance and a company that really cares about its employees. Great opportunities for progression for all - Diversity is a priority.

Cons

Tends to be a lot of change and messaging at times can be confused although most change is driven by business need or market dynamics.

Thanks for sharing your feedback on Glassdoor. Worklife balance is something which is so important to achieve at work and we are really pleased to hear this is something you can get whilst working here - a lot of comments refer to the positive WLB. Our colleagues are awesome, committed and they are a credit to Sage and make us so proud and absolutely agree with you about diversity at Sage. This really happens here, it's not just talk, we walk to talk. Yes, there has been a lot of change of late (for all the right reasons) and we have learnt from some of the mistakes we have made... we do get things wrong sometimes. We acknowledge it, learn and move forward so we are stronger and better. Thanks again.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
