      Don't wish onto your worst enemy - Vice President Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      The 5 days of non--profit engagement is really goo

      Cons

      The list is long. Terrible senior management, a CEO who's more like a movie star than a real CEO, a culture that doesn't care about the individual whatsoever. We're being set up for a "no bonus year" again; the pressure to deliver based on completely unrealistic timelines is crazy. Sr. Management keeps revolving and doesn't agree on the strategy; just keeps saying we'll do things better. Ratings were a joke - managers had to grade on a hard curve - and then bring down several team members one grade yet again. This place is a complete disaster and I cannot wish it even on my worst enemy - not to mention ever recommending Sage to a friend. I'm counting the days myself - might even just be done with it even if I don't have a new role somewhere else. It's just not worth the stress considering I'm working at 40% of market rate. Worst of all the products are not up to par and Sage continues to push the cloud products which are totally not competitive - even after having them in the market for a few years now.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Strong company. Customer focus.

      Cons

      Frequent Executive changes. Trimming in Engineering teams interferes with product changes.

      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
