Pros

It's a paycheck and decent benefits. PTO is generous and the five volunteer days are a plus. Most of the people that work there are awesome.

Cons

Newer people with less experience are coming in making more money than current employees and a better bonus plan with minimum of 20%. Older employees are still on a 4% bonus plan and have not been given a date when it will be changed. The older employees are doing most of the work and not being rewarded. Morale is low and there are a lot of new people that do not know what they're doing and the older people are trying to correct things before it's too late. It's about to be too late because the people with the knowledge are walking out the door in droves because they do not feel valued. With the current changes in the company there is no room for advancement or growth unless you are in sales

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
