      Pros

      Great People who are always willing to help and give their best work. You will end up working and staying at Sage more for the people you work with!

      Cons

      High performance culture is starting to feel like exploitation. Endless admin, not enough time to do the real work, and then after-hours just to stay afloat. We innovate, we improve, but we’re not recognised. Sage demands our full worth, but isn't willing to pay for it (they cap your salary and tell you that you have reached your salary band - which you have no sight of - and will do nothing to assist the situation. So your salary receeds annually vs grows - creating an under inflation salary whilst times get tougher). Benefits are not the same and are inconsistent. I.e. Leave and also Maternity benefits. They will give you the bear minimum based on local labour regulations vs offer a standard approach accross. They can learn from their UK-based Virgin company which does for ALL their employees.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
