Thanks for your review. It's great to hear you find the Sage family friendly - definitely concur - we have such fantastic colleagues. Glad to hear the pay works well for you as well. The food is a fair price at Newcastle - I had the breakfast once and was pleasantly surprised a full-English was just a couple of pounds (and was very good too)! The traffic in the North-East can be a challenge unfortunately, but hoping the free parking and breakfast makes up for it! Thanks again for your review and keep loving #LifeatSage !

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.
