      More stressful than it needs to be - Marketing Manager Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Brilliant opportunity. Big company. Work away scheme means you can work from abroad for 9 weeks of the year. Pay is standard. Subsidised Starbucks in the office.

      Cons

      Strict and sudden move to hybrid working (3 days per week in office). Multiple restructures in recent years mean lots of gaps. No processes and blurred lines of responsibility makes the job more stressful than it should be. Often see people online and working at all hours so it's clear that work-life balance is being eroded.

      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.
