      Sage is faking reviews again - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Every time the ratings go down Sage will post short and obvious fake reviews to keep the truth of how they treat employees from shareholders.

      Cons

      Employee morale is at an all time low. You can't be on one meeting without someone bringing up how ridiculous leadership is at Sage. Now four 4 star reviews just days after employees were cheated out of their bonuses. Cheated is accurate as shareholders, executives, and the board are not suffering a 3% bonus (if you are lucky) rather than the 20%-30% bonus in comp plans. Unless you are the CEO or CFO then bonus plan closer to 90% of base pay. Class war in full effect. Billions per year company paying CEO and CFO millions yet employees unable to even get their Christmas bonus!

      Thanks for your feedback. At Sage we have a philosophy of ‘pay for performance’ and this year more than 90% of our bonus eligible colleagues across 23 countries will receive a payment to recognise their contribution. These payments are based on their country and own personal performance, with the highest performing teams and individuals being handsomely rewarded. In addition to performance-based bonus and commission plans, we offer competitive base salaries, as well as a flexible and award-winning benefits package designed to meet the needs of our diverse workforce.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
