      Pros

      Great benefits and overall management is good. My personal manager seems to care a lot about how I feel and run for my best interests.

      Cons

      Upper management is trying to enforce some ideas on colleagues that aren't based on colleagues' best interests and then state that they did it because it is "what we wanted" but don't actually tell us the real reason behind the decision. Feedback shows otherwise. Everyone is being "pushed" to get back into the office 3 days a week and there are apparently no exceptions for people who were hired with a promising 1 day on-site work week and are now struggling with having to drive for over 3 hours and managing child care. Sage doesn't seem to care too much because this is "non-debatable". Numbers are good and morale seemed high in the last 3 years when practically everyone was at home and went to the office once or twice a week. A blanket rule that affects everyone seems unfair.

      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.
