      Pros

      The people are what makes sage great

      Cons

      Crazy changes are happening. Sage treacle is back and makes it difficult/impossible to get a decision made. Staff are not engaged and happiness is at an all time low regarding the forced team agreements and being forced to return to offices. Unless Sage acts now there will be a mass exodus in January after bonus has been paid. The company has grown so much since Stephen Kelly left but all that hard work is being undone and it’s a real worry

      The work remains good, but what was a positive, people-focused culture is evapourating

      Pros

      My team are great! Since joining I've worked with some absolutely great people, who are properly supportive, know their stuff, always have time to jump on a call and talk over a problem. I've also been part of super exciting projects, with what feels like very new tech and solutions. I've taken up more and more responsibility and feel I've really grown a lot in my short time here so far.

      Cons

      The culture isn't what it used to be... I used to find communication from the higher ups regular, honest and transparent. Now it's super mirky. I feel big decisions and changes come out of nowhere. It's not a massive deal, but it's definitely changed the feel/culture. I don't think I trust the EVPs, VPs and Cs anymore. Best example of this is progression. People keep asking when the hiring freeze will be lifted, and the response is always along the lines of "there is no freeze on hiring/progression and never has been". This is the party line that people are being told to say, but the reality is that my team lead (and many others across the company) have been pushing for progressions for over a year and keep getting palmed off. So, the situation is that either the Directors, EVPs and other high ups who sit above my team lead simply don't actually have the clout to push a progression through (which would be worrying at that level), or we're just being straight up lied to.

      Terrible CEO

      Pros

      I would have said the pro was working remotely, but that was taken away, despite meeting all of our goals.

      Cons

      Our team met all sales goals for FY22 while working from home. Our reward? Forcing us to come into the office two days every week, adding many hours to our day commuting, which is unpaid and comes out of our free time.
