Pros

Sage has been going through a transformation and lots of change for a while and it's still ongoing. I've noticed some reviews on here suggesting this is a negative thing for the company. Seriously though, for a company to survive (especially a tech business) constant change is inevitable and expected. If we don't have constant change and adapt real-time then we will decline - if you're not a fan of change then don't work for an innovative tech business! The transformation of the business is so exciting providing lots of opportunities. What I love most is that there is a strong feeling that the drive behind the constant change is not just to drive profit (that's often seen as a secondary) it's about really making a real difference to everyone Sage comes in contact with..... that may be through the Sage Foundation supporting local communities and projects (we're actively encouraged to use all 5 of our volunteer days!), supporting entrepreneurs passing on great business advice and sharing best practice and tools they can use, supporting Invictus Games, providing fantastic opportunities for apprentices in many business areas, actively encouraging personal development and skill improvement whether that be through our mentor program or independently through Lynda.com and there's lots more going on too!

Cons

Many colleagues in our business are doing really great things and I don't think this is always shared and communicated as much as it could be.

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.
