      Toxic corporate culture - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      The regular working folks are a very good group. The company is a reasonably stable employer.

      Cons

      The corporate culture is plain toxic. Senior leadership shows open contempt for the employees in many ways, both subtle and gross. At Sage, career advancement does not exist. No raises, no promotions. If you are considering working at Sage, make sure that your starting salary is super high, because it's all you're every gonna get!

      Thanks for reviewing Sage. Some of the behaviours your describe concerns me - this is not what we expect. If you see, or are a recipient of such behaviour you should contact your manager, People Business Partner or/and contact our confidential SafeCall line which is outlined in the Code of Conduct. We set our pay increase budget by country and take into account various elements such as cost of living, inflation, local market conditions etc. In most countries the raise is based on performance - this is no different to how most companies operate. On top of pay increases there also bonuses and uncapped commission (in sales) and if you are a top performer, the chance to get a place on Platinum Elite (2017 winners get to go to a luxury resort in Mexico with their partners!) Thanks again for your feedback.

      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.
