Pros

Great benefits and overall management is good. My personal manager seems to care a lot about how I feel and run for my best interests.

Cons

Upper management is trying to enforce some ideas on colleagues that aren't based on colleagues' best interests and then state that they did it because it is "what we wanted" but don't actually tell us the real reason behind the decision. Feedback shows otherwise. Everyone is being "pushed" to get back into the office 3 days a week and there are apparently no exceptions for people who were hired with a promising 1 day on-site work week and are now struggling with having to drive for over 3 hours and managing child care. Sage doesn't seem to care too much because this is "non-debatable". Numbers are good and morale seemed high in the last 3 years when practically everyone was at home and went to the office once or twice a week. A blanket rule that affects everyone seems unfair.

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.
