      Pros

      Right now, .the only thing I can think of is that most people are decent, kind and understanding. The ONE thing it had going for it was work-life balance and flexibility. It's the reason I picked this company over others I was interviewing for and now wish I had made different choices.

      Cons

      They sent an email regarding a massive change to ways of working and returning to the office recently. They signed it off saying - this is the right thing for our customers and shareholders. The one thing missing, their employees. This omission speaks volumes. They know it's not the right thing for their employees but they're going to do it anyway. There was only one office that was at capacity last year. They are investing heavily in new infrastructure in North America. The result of this a global office recall. Of course they are spinning this as related to productivity and culture. It's hard to take that at face value when on an all hands they told us if you're not happy to go back to the office then there are other companies to work for. You have a choice to make. Which sounds like an attempt to attain natural attrition rather than ANOTHER round of lay offs. Equally, when the topic of career progression came up on another All Hands the advice was also, if you want a promotion, leave, go somewhere else. If they are so desperate for people to leave, I don't see why they would hire you at all.

      Sage simply does not care about colleagues!

      Pros

      Very customer focused, a real leader in accountancy software.

      Cons

      Latest announcement to colleagues mean working in office 3 days a week. In my personal circumstances, it makes zero sense as my team doesn't work in the same office as me. I've worked remotely for 4 years no issues, returning to office has made it less enjoyable to work for sage. Unless you live near an office, DO NOT APPLY AT SAGE as they will expect you to come in or you will likely lose your bonus/job. I live 2 hours away from the office, my productivity is soo low now.
