      Pros

      My team are great! Since joining I've worked with some absolutely great people, who are properly supportive, know their stuff, always have time to jump on a call and talk over a problem. I've also been part of super exciting projects, with what feels like very new tech and solutions. I've taken up more and more responsibility and feel I've really grown a lot in my short time here so far.

      Cons

      The culture isn't what it used to be... I used to find communication from the higher ups regular, honest and transparent. Now it's super mirky. I feel big decisions and changes come out of nowhere. It's not a massive deal, but it's definitely changed the feel/culture. I don't think I trust the EVPs, VPs and Cs anymore. Best example of this is progression. People keep asking when the hiring freeze will be lifted, and the response is always along the lines of "there is no freeze on hiring/progression and never has been". This is the party line that people are being told to say, but the reality is that my team lead (and many others across the company) have been pushing for progressions for over a year and keep getting palmed off. So, the situation is that either the Directors, EVPs and other high ups who sit above my team lead simply don't actually have the clout to push a progression through (which would be worrying at that level), or we're just being straight up lied to.

      Work life balance is the strongest attribute at Sage. Family matters and mental stablity is supported. Top notch benefits.

      Cons

      Departments with mixed roles of similar tasks, yet separate teams without collaboration.

      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.
