Pros

Prestige company in the north east. Plenty of opportunities to develop your career Good pay and bonuses Always been hugely supportive with personal issues.

Cons

Too many people seem to believe they are owed a living from the company. Beliefs like positivity and being for change, are seen as negatives by some long term employees "that's not how it used to be" is a stock phrase

Thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear your positivity shine through! Sage's roots are firmly in the North-East of England as that's where we were founded over 30 years ago. The North Park campus is fantastic and has a fab vibe, and the people are great. As one profound philosopher once said "the only constant is change" - being the biggest Tech company in the FTSE100 we have to be smart and lead the change and leapfrog the competition. This is clearly something you enjoy - which is great and you'll thrive at Sage. Thanks for your feedback and keep loving #LifeatSage!

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.
