Pros

- Good work/life balance - Some brilliant hard working colleagues

Cons

After Covid, Sage demonstrated the art of the possible, where work was a job not a place. I used to be a valued colleague now I'm just a number. A high performance culture "strategy" underpinned with what? Average leadership training, hiring freezes, redundancies and poor pay - translating to a work hard for less reward culture. Let's top off an already low morale with a 3 mandate back to office, that will be managed through formal process... where is the trust in your colleagues and leadership to get the job done! STOP investing money into offices that you perceive to be market leading... they're not. Sage's offices are buildings with desks... news flash so is my house! Do we have a creche for working parents? Or do you provide free meals for employees in offices like Google do? If you're return to office mandate was underpinned with actions that supported working parents, or colleagues who were struggling with the cost of living … then maybe we'd all be running back! Alas Sage's ELT proves once again that they are so wildly out of touch with the reality of working peoples lives. We used to have an amazing inclusive culture but let's be honest, those days are long gone!

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.
