Thanks for your feedback. So pleased to hear such positives things about Sage - our people are fantastic; having great colleagues cannot be under-estimated in terms of the positive impact it has every day you are at Sage. We have a high-performance culture and the rewards can be fantastic. The Reward Team work hard to ensure all our colleagues receive market-rate pay, this along with rewards/benefits means Sage is a great place to work. It's always an interesting question regarding communication. In a company of 13,000 colleagues in over 20 countries, it can be difficult to achieve. Saying that, we have taken great strides to improve this. From the regular Sage Live TV broadcast to YourSage, our brand new global intranet. Regarding your specific question around corporate objectives, go to YourSage and type VSGM (vision, strategy, goals, measures) in the search box. You'll see our CEO, Stephen Kelly's VSGM which filters down to all of us through our goal-setting. You will clearly see from this what our corporate objectives are. I hope that helps. Thanks again for 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.
