      Pros

      Good salary, good annual bonus, access to great benefits.

      Cons

      Constantly shifting priorities, senior leadership's heads turned by shiny new toys every 6 months, causing chaos for people trying to deliver software. This isn't in relation to the changing landscape of accounting, it's just bad planning and lack of foresight. No product leadership - Chief Product Officer appears once a year and then vanishes until the next financial year kicks off. I have no idea what his views are on anything, have no sense of his strategy for the organisation and makes no attempt to foster any sense of cohesion as a product function. As people begin to return to the office, facilities are starting to feel the strain. Impossible to get a seat at lunch if you turn up at 12:01, I've seen people eating lunch stood with food propped on a windowsill and others eating in the "break out" call pods meant for having private Teams calls. Many colleagues feeling the same sense of disconnection, misery and isolation. Sage is currently promoting "high performance mentality" but making no fundamental changes to the core problems that are causing low performance.

      Pros

      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.
