      Good, but has got worse - Financial Analyst Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Decent bonus scheme, friendly and knowledgeable people, growing business and generally a lot going on. Some teams have limited scope for progression and there is not so much recognition of effort in the form of promotions etc.

      Cons

      Used to be a lot more trust in regards to hybrid working. Seems to have been a crack down moving it to a 3 day in the office mandatory rule, which has been far from popular. A one size fits all approach is going back on the foundations that were built on trust. I don't feel there is much to be gained from being forced into an office when I know my day will consist of phone calls and individual projects. Collaboration in person is better, I am not denying this, but there is nuance to everyone's individual situations and I feel like this has been ignored for what is evidently a financial decision.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. Hybrid working is vital to the continued success of our people-centred culture, and we will support colleagues with unique experiences so that they can more comfortably adhere to the updated working policy. Sage continues to be a people-first organisation and we hope that our colleagues will feel this commitment a lot more strongly as we settle into our enhanced way of working.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Strong company. Customer focus.

      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
