Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that you feel positively about the salary and benefits. We’re sorry to hear that you feel there are limited development opportunities and that our pace of working isn’t where it should be. Supporting colleagues to grow and develop remains a key focus. Alongside LinkedIn Learning, Sage University, and our Data Academy, our Sage Learning platform continues to expand with new resources. We also encourage colleagues to explore our gigs and mentorship programmes, which can help build skills, increase visibility, and grow networks across the business. In terms of pace, we’re continuing to remove barriers and empower colleagues to make decisions more quickly, helping projects move more efficiently. This is reflected in our recent announcement of our half year results, which highlight progress in how we operate. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.

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.
