      Pros

      Great benefits. 5 volunteering days is a great way of giving to the community and staff. Pension is top tier.

      Cons

      Poor leadership. Unwillingness to accept negative truths. So much doesn't get reported past EVP. Unstructured matrix organisation. Massive employee churn.

      Thanks for writing your review about Sage. We are pleased to hear the our benefits work for you and the Sage Foundation is fantastic isn't it! As said on yesterday's Sage Live TV, we are rolling out the Leading for Leaders Programme at Sage next month; leadership is not a set of HR processes – it is taking colleagues on a journey through their time at Sage, supporting, challenging and guiding them. It's an amazing development leadership programme for all ‘people managers’ at Sage – 1,700 leaders. It will make a real difference to all of our colleagues at Sage, regardless of level. Transformation at Sage has been a positive challenge for many colleagues but recognise it's not for everyone, so attrition will increase. We have plans to increase internal recruitment and soon our global intranet 'Your Sage' will be launched with a brand new careers section aimed at helping colleagues make the most of themselves and their career. Also, later on this year we will launch our colleague survey across Sage. Thanks again for writing your review.

      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.
