      Sage is in a weird space right now but we'll get through it - it needs an injection of caring culture! - People Team Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      The flexibility and autonomy within my role is the no.1 thing that makes me want to stay at Sage. The salaries are competitive for role in the North East of England where typically average salaries are less than many other areas in the UK.

      Cons

      There's constant change, which isn't a bad thing as many companies that stand still, are no longer here. Sage is constantly managing multiple changes or restructures at any one time - this can be exhausting for colleagues trying to keep up to speed with everything. Internal comms needs a major improvement for many reasons. The recent announcement on 3 days in the office is a prime example - the wording was horrific, incredibly insensitive and sadly reading the tone - I am 95% sure I could name who wrote and edited it. Rolling back a few years, we had the best colleague engagement when our primary focus was on colleagues, customers and shareholders - maybe Sage should revisit the approach used then and embed more caring colleague focus in our culture now - we had a 4.4+ glassdoor score then! We're humans not robots, show you care and that will help us thrive and want to perform better for you.

      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.
