Pros

The PTO is decent which you're going to mentally need. My manager is amazing but is burned out trying to shield us from the rest of Sage's toxicity. If all you want is a job and a salary, this might be the place for you.

Cons

The VPs up to the executives only care about the stock price (and their bonus). Hundreds of millions in stock buybacks meanwhile the staff get told they should be grateful for their jobs and terrible raises. At this point the CFO is pinching pennies any way possible I won't be surprised if they cancel raises or the year end bonus. Company is only hiring contractors now for new roles. CEO when announcing return to office requirements during company meeting said "there's the door if you don't like it". Toxic people everywhere especially in Atlanta. Animosity across groups battling to justify their jobs. VPs can act however they want and are shielded from being held accountable for their actions. Company performance targets for non-sales bonuses are set so high they will never pay your full bonus advertised. Stock options are no longer offered to non-VPs. Introverts are not setup to succeed here. Senior staff here do not have career paths and there are no growth opportunities.

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.
