Pros

Many of the other reviews cover the many perks afforded to employees, but I'd rather focus on other areas. This is a business undergoing significant change. The rate of change has accelerated over the past couple of years and whilst change at this pace undoubtedly causes friction and challenges, the ambition and strategy being put in place is outstanding. There is an amazing plan to tackle a challenge that none of our competitors have - namely how we create a seamless experience for customers irrespective of which of the many products they are using. We are breaking new ground across a variety of exciting technical fronts, and opportunities abound for people who want them and exhibit courage and bravery. Is Sage perfect? No. But then no company is. Are there managers who have been promoted above their capability? In my humble opinion yes, but again this is common in corporates. But there are a lot of amazing people here who are dedicated, hard working and who pull together. I love this company. If you want to be part of an amazing journey, join us.

Cons

Growing pains. Pace of change causes friction and some day to day challenges and frustration. But normal for any organisation attempting to redefine itself.

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.
