Sage Software Engineeer reviews

Progressions have been non-existant for a while, the small number of people that get them get a title change and a very small pay rise which means you actually lose money as you lose the extra bonus top-up for exceeding your current role. Current policy seems to be you need to officially exceed your role for three years before being able to be promoted. Office looks nice from the outside however it is incredibly not fit for anything other than photo ops. Toilets keep overflowing Water pressure keeps having issues Coffee machines have a lower reliability than McDonald's ice cream machines Not enough parking Not enough places to sit as a team Takes twenty minutes to get served for lunch Lifts break often New mandate that all your Teams calls should be taken in the office. Reason given is to "increase collaboration" however not sure how that can be true when your team will not all be based in the same office. Current rumours as it's way to downside and unfortunately that makes more sense than teams calls in the office increasing collbaration. Product feature requests that come from above rather than customer feedback are not well thought out. We keep spending months of features customers do not use because it sounds good to some exec somewhere.

The SBC architecture team and platform team operate like a "boys club," resistant to new ideas and exclusive in their decision-making, which limits innovation and feels isolating for others. Project work isn’t especially engaging, and while there’s a bonus structure, it’s rarely paid out in full, which is demotivating. The CPO often comes across as arrogant, particularly when making company announcements, which affects morale. The number of office days is increased by company-wide policy changes each year.
