Pros

- The people (colleagues & majority of team managers) - Pay is reasonable

Cons

- Senior leadership egotistical and lack of real world knowledgge (prime example of this being the recent 3 day mandatory office day policy - lack of accountability from the top and unrealistic expectations. Shocked to hear the lack of direction and support given to mid-management to actually manage the changes. Either incredibly ignorant at worst or frustratingly naive at best, - FY23/24 momentum seems to be stagnating - FY25 feels like impending drastic changes. - Rumours of lowering global staff headcount target which supports the theory of volutnary attrition. - Removing condensed hour contracts so if uou want progression you have to go back to standard 9-5. stuck in a rut! - A real shame for a company i once loved - maybe change at the top is needed.

Pros

Salary and people are good

Cons

Very backward looking company with too many old fashioned execs. Lots of words not any action with most of their core values.

Pros

Amazing colleagues who care about one another

Cons

Unfortunately Sage has completely U-turned, on what was an outstanding culture, over the past 2-3 years. It's become progressively worse to the point of job security and satisfaction is zero. Colleague satisfaction does not matter. The focus is profit and profit alone. Constant cycles of redundancies and restructures result in there never being stability to attain their much coveted 'high performing culture'. Too many outstanding colleagues have been cut from the business whilst senior leaders are continually allowed to display behaviours which are toxic, bullying, and at the very least plain rude. The latest handling of the return to the office policy is completely symptomatic of the 'new' Sage. Lies, spin, and the dictatorial mandate - you are lucky to be here attitude - is the pinnacle thus far. The offices are NOT able to cater for this approach in any way but Leadership are petulantly choosing not to listen to colleagues' genuine concerns. It is not the RTO but the way it is being handled and failure to be managed in any appropriate or reasonable way. It's all a really sad state of affairs now with morale rock bottom and a huge disconnect between leadership and colleagues
