Pros

Industry standard flexible benefits, plus standard amount of annual leave

Cons

Archaic internal systems and processes - ridiculous given Sage promotes itself as a leading technology company. Staff who have been here too long, who fail to understand that the world outside Sage is different, who constantly moan about how bad things are and yet they do not get off their backsides and find a job somewhere else, thus leading to morale issues in the wider team. Non supportive managers who fail to address longstanding issues of negative and inappropriate attitudes from some team members towards others. Staff including team leaders who are afraid of their next level of management and so never tell them the truth about what is going on if something is going wrong. Sage offers flexible working, but in reality, it is difficult to get and you have to fight very hard for it. These comments apply to the department I am in. I do believe that things are different in other departments, but as I have not worked in any, I can only comment on my own experiences.

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.
