      More stressful than it needs to be - Marketing Manager Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Brilliant opportunity. Big company. Work away scheme means you can work from abroad for 9 weeks of the year. Pay is standard. Subsidised Starbucks in the office.

      Cons

      Strict and sudden move to hybrid working (3 days per week in office). Multiple restructures in recent years mean lots of gaps. No processes and blurred lines of responsibility makes the job more stressful than it should be. Often see people online and working at all hours so it's clear that work-life balance is being eroded.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
