A great place to work, but going through huge changes

Pros

Prestige company in the north east. Plenty of opportunities to develop your career Good pay and bonuses Always been hugely supportive with personal issues.

Cons

Too many people seem to believe they are owed a living from the company. Beliefs like positivity and being for change, are seen as negatives by some long term employees "that's not how it used to be" is a stock phrase

Thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear your positivity shine through! Sage's roots are firmly in the North-East of England as that's where we were founded over 30 years ago. The North Park campus is fantastic and has a fab vibe, and the people are great. As one profound philosopher once said "the only constant is change" - being the biggest Tech company in the FTSE100 we have to be smart and lead the change and leapfrog the competition. This is clearly something you enjoy - which is great and you'll thrive at Sage. Thanks for your feedback and keep loving #LifeatSage!

Thanks for your feedback about Sage. We take pride in our learning & development at Sage - there's everything from classroom based training, mentoring and 1000s of hours of training via Linda.com...we are always looking for ways to improve developing our people. Work Life Balance is something we encourage and for most, it works very well at Sage. I guess some jobs will have travel, but saying that we have invested heavily in Telepresence and Skype for Business which has reduced the amount of travelling significantly. I hope all works out well for you and thanks again for your review.

Thanks for your feedback. Can't agree more - Sage is a great place to work and we have some fantastic benefits and the new Save & SharePlan - where colleague can own part of Sage, is another example how Sage is investing in benefits for all colleagues. The Sage Foundation is fantastic, it's great for colleagues, charities and our communities around the world, it's a win-win. Thanks again for your review and keep loving #LifeatSage!
