      Simply disappointing

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sage still manages to have a wonderful team culture. Individuals are sideways willing to pull together to achieve targets and meet deadlines. Sage allows 5 days a year for Foundation charity work. Which always you too feel you make a difference in the world.

      Cons

      There seems to have been a cultural shift recently. The fact teams pull together, seems to be in spite of the overall change rather than because of it. Of course I'm talking about the demoralising forever return to the office that will for some reduce effective team collaboration, force a de facto pay cut, and damage work life balance. I like to think they'd take on board feedback, but I fear the only really response will be either another copy and paste or to ignore it. Either that or have someone post a fake positive review to try to counter it. I would no longer recommend Sage as a place to work.

      Put up or shut up

      Pros

      Flexible working in some teams.

      Cons

      When senior members of your HR team write passive aggressive LinkedIn posts regarding return to office, it kind of sums up the current culture.

      Thank you for leaving your review. We want to stress that no colleagues are mandated nor begged to leave reviews. Glassdoor is part of our listening strategy, so colleagues are encouraged to leave feedback here, but that is completely at their discretion. Colleagues writing posts on their own LinkedIn profiles do so independently. As an organisation, we are guided by our values, and being Human is part of that. That being said, we know that we can always get better at communicating, and we strive to keep doing so. Although it might not fully resonate with you at the moment, please be assured that our culture is still supportive, empowering and people-focused. As we strengthen it, we hope this will shine more clearly in your experiences.

      Layoffs done secretly

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay, decent benefits, some reimbursements like gym or gym equipment, offer HSAs and FSAs, 401k matching-standard stuff

      Cons

      Recently, they've been laying folks off. They quietly laid off about 50 people at the end of February, even though the CEO said there is nothing to worry about in the beginning of February. They are probably going to lay off more in the future in other markets around the world. No press release, just internal announcement. They don't promote folks who work hard, or show effort or even who go above and beyond, instead it's all about who you know. Some business units are better than others, the boys club mentality still applies here even though they showcase a DEIB affinity group. There are a lot of politics involved when making decisions, and so in the end it's not about what's best for the company, or even what is going to sell in the marketplace-it's just about what makes folks happy. They hire SMEs for regional markets, but don't actually listen to their advice or experience. It's sad because they should be empowering their employees and they'd sell more. Some folks don't even consider how to sell these products in the marketplaces that they are sold! Overall numbers are going down, and the morale is dropping especially with the recent layoffs. I used to think this was a special place, but in the end I put in a lot of hours, worked really hard, did more work than was asked of me and instead of being promoted or rewarded, I was chastized for going beyond my silo and for breaking down barriers. Many folks stopped speaking up because they'd just get into trouble, especially if the product wasn't doing well.

      We are thankful for your feedback and sorry that your recent experience with us has not been very positive. We are transforming our business, and this requires us to optimize our organization regularly, which occasionally results in role or team changes. Whenever these changes must occur, we are committed to treating all impacted colleagues and teams fairly, and with the utmost confidentiality and respect. With the recent introduction of the Talent Marketplace system, it will be far easier for colleagues to move up and also sideways with Sage, as they are given more control than ever before over their career progression. We encourage you to share your ideas on strategic improvements with your manager and through any of our internal communication channels. We hope that you shall keep engaging in dialogue with us regularly here and internally so that we can keep striving to create an environment that makes all our colleagues proud to be part of Sage.
