Pros

Career progression routes, friendly, family like atmosphere. Rewards scheme, great pension scheme, compassionate, rewards high performance. I would recommend Sage to anyone looking for the base of a solid career - with progression available in alot of different areas. I haven't worked for a company like this before and don't think I would ever leave. Opportunity for paid volunteering days is fantastic.

Cons

I haven't came across any cons in my experience. Maybe more opportunities for colleagues to get together to keep up to date on the business overview. Sometimes this can be staggered and some people could feel out of the loop.

Pros

Good benefits and salary, Sage Fixed Asset division has great management. It is an empowering place to work, and their training was awesome!

Cons

Sage is large and therefore not nimble - sometimes you make a suggestion and by the time it is acted upon, it's very different than the original vision and sometimes doesn't seem worth the effort of the change. Also they oddly changed my title (to something I did not aspire to be) in order to fit in the "corporate norm," but I was not consulted about it first, or given choices of different titles. I'd say overall they're a decent company though!

Thanks for reviewing Sage and pleased to read you experienced good benefits and salary when you worked here. We receive lots of feedback to say our colleagues are empowered, so not surprised you experienced that - which is fantastic. Our training is great isn't it - from classroom-based to Linda.com and to our tips on the internal career page and The Sage Academy generally; we have so many great resources to help colleagues build a fab career at Sage. As I am sure you recall, one of our values is velocity, being agile and working at pace. We need to be better all round, but there are teams who do an excellent job in this area already. Sorry to hear about the issues with your job title. I wish you every success with your career, wherever that may be - maybe one day you'll come back to Sage! Thanks again for your feedback.
