      Pros

      Great people who are genuinely trying to do the right thing for the customer. Decent offices, competitive salaries and benefits. Mentoring program, CSR days, flexible working.

      Cons

      There is a fundamental disconnect between senior levels/global functions and the local business units tasked to transform the business. These units are crippled by lack of investment due to the fact that there is yet another period of change, so we can't back fill natural churn until "someone" decides what the larger change will be. As a result, I witness teams at breaking point, working extremely long hours 7 days a week to meet the challenges a company in a period of transformation faces. But here's the thing: lack of people investment whilst waiting for the next grand plan is exhausting the very people needed to implement this change.

      Thank you for reviewing Sage. Yes, we have great, dedicated colleagues right across Sage and the Sage Foundation is great for colleagues and the charities who benefit. The new Mentoring Programme and associated Playbook is awesome and flexible working across Sage is fantastic as it helps individuals and families alike. We have hired several thousand new colleagues across Sage over the last few years and we continue to recruit and we invest in our people in terms of training and development, as you say, Mentoring, improving the onboarding process, Leading for Leaders programme etc. Thanks again for reviewing us.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
