      Pros

      Sage tends to hire experienced, smart people who are team players.

      Cons

      Decisions are very much made top-down. Don't expect to have a say beyond your manager. Many processes are bureaucratic and broken. Executives are caught in a revolving door. A lot of long term people with deep knowledge have left.

      Company resents its employees

      Pros

      Good colleagues. Average pay. Standard benefits.

      Cons

      Bonuses get downgraded every year as do raises based on mysterious "internal targets" that will never be met. It's very much a "shareholder first" company with customers and colleagues bringing up the rear. We're undergoing another round of stealth layoffs with more to come as the CEO forces people back to the office. So much for their green credentials as they force people to waste more hours of their lives sitting in traffic and burning fossil fuels so they can commute to the office and spend their days on Teams calls. It looks like the C-suite strategy is to increase their own short-term bonus potential and then ride off into retirement leaving the debris behind.

      Marketing department was a hot mess.

      Pros

      There are some extremely smart people who work here - and if you open yourself up to learning from, your personal growth can be exponential. It’s also an international company, so you’ll work with people from literally all over the world. You interact with so many cultures, it’s amazing. Their benefits are also great because of this - minus the PTO.

      Cons

      Marketing leadership micromanages their teams, and often passed the buck when things didn’t go as planned. I was once asked “Who approved this plan?” And when I said, “You did,” my managers response was literally, “I must not have been actually listening.” They also offer different PTO in various counties. While this makes sense from a holiday standpoint, it was really sad seeing some coworkers get 6 weeks of paid maternity leave when other direct coworkers got 9 months or even 12.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad you agree that there are many smart people, and many opportunities for personal and professional growth – promoting from within benefits everyone and we are committing to developing our awesome colleagues! I’m sorry you felt micromanaged – that is never a positive thing. There are always opportunities for our managers to improve their skills, so our new LEAD program is just one of the ways we are building stronger leaders. As a former colleague, I hope that you used one of our many internal channels to share some of your sentiments and thoughts and ideas about our marketing efforts with our leadership team. Our CMO, Ron McMurtrie is located right in your local Atlanta office and is always willing to hear feedback and ideas. A great work/life balance is an important part of colleague happiness and we encourage everyone to take advantage of their time away. Since we are a global company, local laws and other cultural factors are taken into consideration, but overall we strive to ensure the total reward package is consistent across roles. Thank you again for your comments, and we wish you the best!
