      Pros

      *Good work-life balance *Company flexible in many terms: salary, PTO, benefits *Great people in some areas, very knowledgeable, happy to support, to share their knowledge

      Cons

      *Poor leadership team, old-fashioned, most of major so-called leaders are +50, no fresh blood. *Command-and-control organization, very mission driven but midle-management not able to get the ball rolling *Promotion schemes unclear, reward and recognition not in place therefore having a very poor talent management process *Very low level of confidence between the different organization layers

      Thank you for sharing your review. Our colleagues are an integral part of Sage, we couldn’t put our customers first without you working so hard. As a current colleague, you are aware we are undertaking a period of organisational change to make us stronger, better and more customer focused than ever before. We recognise not everyone will be happy with changes – it’s not easy. Some of the changes we are making will ensure talent management is at the heart of our people processes. Also reward and recognition is important to all of us. We are committed to making improvements to enhance the lives of our colleagues. Thank you once again for sharing your view, employee feedback is very important to us. I would urge you to speak to your manager as well.

      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

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful and balanced review. We’re pleased to hear that you value your compensation and benefits, as well as the work our Foundation do, among the areas you’ve highlighted. We also recognise the points you’ve raised around bureaucracy, innovation, and the pace and focus of change. Different people are motivated by different things at work, and it’s helpful to hear honest perspectives on how our structure, processes, and priorities can impact day‑to‑day experience and engagement. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing conversations as we continue to evolve our ways of working, use technology more meaningfully, and improve the products and experiences we create for our customers. If you’re open to sharing further insight, we encourage you to do so through our Always Listening survey. Thank you again for your openness and for being part of Sage.
