Pros

Always prioritises doing the right thing. Great career opportunities. Invests in people. Looks for growth over profit. Good people to learn a lot from. Fair pay and working practices. Great offices. Work life balance is good. Inspiring vision for customers and colleagues.

Cons

Some complexity from being a large global business, and sometimes the pace of change can be frustratingly slow. But that is the nature of the beast. The problem with Glassdoor is it captures reviews from individuals acting in the moment to a specific incident. This review is based on 6 years and offers a broader picture. Am I happy every moment of every day at Sage, no. (honestly if you expect that, you don't live in the real world). Am I happy most of the time, and am I willing to make the calculation that it is worth it, 100% I am.

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.
