Pros

The people I work with - they make every day bearable. Decent salary. Modern offices that are fine when not at capacity!

Cons

— Progression “freeze” - there’s nowhere to go. Expected to level up, work at a level above yours, with no recognition or reward. You can be in the same role for years and years, taking on more responsibility - but no one will thank you and your role will stay the same. — Hypocritical policies. Claiming to be “human” and support neurodiversity and families yet at the same time laying down a blanket policy where everyone must work in the office 3 days per week, no flexibility, no debate to be had. To take effect in 2 months time. To quote a senior leader: “If you don’t like it then maybe Sage isn’t the place for you.” Actually, what I don’t like is having to be in a call centre-like environment on Teams calls with people all over the world. Trying to focus on a room full of chatter, at a desk I can’t even call my own. Oh and let’s not forget the abysmal traffic queues, the canteen that can’t cope with numbers, the poor Starbucks people who can’t cope with numbers either… yet the offices are in a business park with nothing else nearby! — Senior leadership (CEO, Head of Product) seem solely focused on making money, “high performance”, etc - meanwhile the CEO is on £4 million and isn’t trying to juggle a young family and full time work. Head of Product spoke to company like a room full of naughty schoolchildren. The entire culture seems to be turning toxic with these people in charge. Morale is very low and I don’t expect this to change unless management make positive changes.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are also quite good.

Cons

Terrible values, spend a lot of time trying to say they’re human but then force everyone back into the office 3 days a week up from 2 days. “Not up for debate and their decision is final” dictatorship mind set. Used to be a great place to work but recently management is really poor and decisions being made company wide rather than listening to specifics.
