Pros

Salary good, environment ok ish

Cons

Sage are cutting back, massive recruitment deficit, made finance & marketing departments redundant. No health insurance, unequal fairness from management, authoritarian management, told what to do, little discussion - even when they don't know they argue that they do. office temperature way too hot in office. No one seems to care anymore. Their attitude is suck it up or leave. A lot of good people have left, that has changed the feeling of working for the company a lot.

Thanks for your review. We are a bit confused where you have got your information from...we have not got a "massive recruitment deficit" - and we have not made finance and marketing departments redundant. I am sorry your office is too hot - have informed the facilities team? Our people are dedicated and we care for our colleagues, our managers are undertaking a brand new modular leadership programme and this will make a difference. Please contact me if you wish to discuss further - glassdoor@sage.com. Thanks again for your review.

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.
