Pros

Coworkers are great, consistent and stable hours, reasonable physical working environment, many of the people managers are on your side, potential growth opportunities

Cons

Understaffed support queues, sales-focused support strategy with highly unrealistic targets, lacking consistency across all levels of management (one manager may tell their team one thing and another might tell their team something completely the opposite), promotions system is a dangling carrot on a moving target, desperate to keep bodies in the queues that they're willing to overlook employees whose behaviors actively hurt our image to customers (but still takes too long to replace lost staff), some managers will actively try to quash any criticism or escalate legitimate complaints, silo-ing within departments and products, communication is lacking in many areas (this is being improved on but needs further work)

We appreciate honest feedback from colleagues, and it is clear you care about making Sage a better place. We all do! I would encourage you to also use one of internal channels to share your voice, give your ideas, provide solutions and make things happen. This includes your people team, the All-In meetings, and Sage-TV Live to name a few . A great start would be to talk to your site leader. Also, just last month we held “The Big Conversation” where all 14,000 Sage colleagues around the world participated on an online conversation about anything and everything. The responses helped us gained a lot of insight, and some great colleague suggestions are already being implemented - I certainly hope you were part of that awesome event. Thank you again for sharing your experience and bringing your best to work every day!

Pros

Work life balance is the strongest attribute at Sage. Family matters and mental stablity is supported. Top notch benefits.

Departments with mixed roles of similar tasks, yet separate teams without collaboration.

Pros

Some of the people are genuinely rockstars in their crafts. The insurance is top notch and PTO is generous.

Cons

Company culture and morale are awful. The salaries are low, policies are dated and not equitable, product and internal tech is dated. Rapid changes due to poor leadership and frequent turnover. Leadership does not seem to possess the ability to pivot once decisions have been made, even if the decision was the wrong one. Company personality is archaic and as far away from forward-thinking as possible.
