Sage reviews

Micro management (pressure on managers to do so) Preaching engagement and transparency with employees but it is not real nor useful. Example: surveys for employees on how we feel and like Sage that don't really accomplish anything Salaries are not competitive and quite small raise over the year Big focus on business and profit, small focus on employee and improving conditions / work environment The back to office (3 days per week) has been so badly handled. Now the company is monitoring IP addresses to advise managers to check on team members People are leaving or getting redundancies but no hiring back to replace positions needed, which creates additional work for those staying

As a manager, I was often stuck enforcing top-down decisions that made no sense, like a global return-to-office mandates for fully remote teams. I saw constant layoffs. Leadership prioritized control over outcomes, with constant pressure, unrealistic timelines, and no regard for work-life balance. There was little to no support for managers, and when things went wrong, blame rolled downhill fast. The culture was toxic, trust was nonexistent, and there were no real opportunities to grow or develop your team. Leadership talked about values, but their actions rarely matched.
