Pros

Full time employees get paid something approaching a living wage. The building is pretty nice. Desks, equipment and cubicles are pretty good, too. It's nice not having big walls between you and your neighbor.

Cons

Gender pay gap is a problem. Even after certain individuals finally got a well deserved promotion (see below regarding promotion and hire freezes), certain individual was still paid significantly less than new hires. Management does not consider employee complaints and sweeps them under the rug. What kind of complaints? Pretty much all of them. During an "all in" meeting, we were told "I'm not asking you to astroturf Glassdoor with good reviews, but, all of you, please post a positive review on Glassdoor," almost verbatim. I say almost because that was last year during a discussion about how their Glassdoor score wasn't as good as they'd like. Corporate enforced a hire freeze and a promotions freeze that we were told about by management, even though I've seen Corporate argue tooth and nail that there has never been a hiring or promotion freeze. Customer support analysts are expected to do sales work even though there is a sales team. Also, even once the promotions freeze finally ended, not meeting your sales quota meant that you were not eligible for promotions. I sure hope you like pushing sales at the end of every call. I sure hope you didn't pick the support position because you like *helping people* and troubleshooting tricky problems, and aren't morally opposed to tricking people into spending money that they don't need to. Otherwise, this ain't the job for you. Sexual harassment issues went unaddressed for weeks by lower management, and then the people who went over lower management's head to report it to someone above them were punished for following sexual harassment training guidelines specifically stating that, if management won't help, go over their heads.

Thank you for leaving a review. Our mission is to support a culture at Sage that creates a positive colleague experience. Our career training programs, diversity and inclusion (Belong) program, our volunteer opportunities and compensation structure give all colleagues the opportunity to improve themselves, grow their career, and participate in programs to improve their lives both personally and professionally. Although businesses are always changing, especially during these times, our commitment to our colleagues remain the same. We are, however, very concerned about your comment about sexual harassment. This behavior is completely unacceptable and is not tolerated at Sage.

Thanks for your review. It's great to hear that when you were a colleague here at Sage you loved our colleagues, the location and the offices. We love to see our own people develop and build great careers at Sage, and we actively encourage it. There are numerous examples of colleagues coming in e.g. technical support and a few years later being Director of IT! We are publishing a number of these career stories on our intranet as it's important colleagues can learn from those who have a built a great career at Sage. The main theme that comes out of these career stories is about getting a mentor, work hard and take any opportunity when they appear. We have a fantastic mentoring site too which guides colleagues about getting a mentor and how to manage that relationship.
