      Leaderless and lacking vision (Sage Live) - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Sage offers a solid benefits package to its employees. The biggest perk is starting off with 20 days of paid time off.

      Cons

      1. Lack of leadership 2. Inability to try creative practices 3. No accountability on groups that fail to perform (global marketing unable to deliver the necessary MQLs to ensure sales and customer success can hit their targets yet when they are called out for quality and quantity they question the other teams) 4. Employees constantly jockey for position in a constant game of politics and trying to make themselves look good instead of focusing on employees and the customer. 5. Leadership lacks the ability to analyze data and be agile to the shifting landscape to make sure the product is positioned to address pain points in the market. I could go on and on, but I do not want to bore you.

      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.
