      Grew tired of this corporate cliche - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      It's hard and it will ask the best of you, and push you. You will learn a lot here. The share-save scheme is good. Healthcare is good also - not massive but allows you to claim some back for sports massage, dental etc. Charity volunteering days are good.

      Cons

      Never-ending deathmarch of unachievable deadlines, to satisfy higher-ups, management, and ultimately the greed of the shareholders. As far as the software goes, the SDLC is not the best. The customer is never consulted on a new a feature before its built to see if its worthwhile building, and never consulted afterwards to see how it can be improved. The focus is simply on "building the next new thing". A lot of good people have left.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Strong company. Customer focus.

      Cons

      Frequent Executive changes. Trimming in Engineering teams interferes with product changes.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
