Thank you for your review. We have great colleagues at Sage - which is fantastic, as this is not the same in all companies...I think we are very lucky from that perspective. Sorry to read you feel some managers don't care about colleagues - this behaviour doesn't fit our values. The leading for leaders programme, which only recently launched should address such behaviours. Bonuses and pay increases are based on various elements from performance to inflation. We pay colleagues competitively by designing our pay structures based on robust market data. We focus data sourcing on a carefully curated list of high tech companies to ensure we compare ourselves to our competitors. We wish you well with your career and thank you 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.
