Pros

Great benefits and overall management is good. My personal manager seems to care a lot about how I feel and run for my best interests.

Cons

Upper management is trying to enforce some ideas on colleagues that aren't based on colleagues' best interests and then state that they did it because it is "what we wanted" but don't actually tell us the real reason behind the decision. Feedback shows otherwise. Everyone is being "pushed" to get back into the office 3 days a week and there are apparently no exceptions for people who were hired with a promising 1 day on-site work week and are now struggling with having to drive for over 3 hours and managing child care. Sage doesn't seem to care too much because this is "non-debatable". Numbers are good and morale seemed high in the last 3 years when practically everyone was at home and went to the office once or twice a week. A blanket rule that affects everyone seems unfair.

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.
