      A strange culture and a busy place - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are reasonable for the area. Good on-site facilities (canteen, coffee shops, parking). Working for a global organisation you can deal with interesting overseas issues, depending on which department you work in.

      Cons

      Sage's culture is one of the oddest I have experienced. There is very little investment from the top in ensuring a positive people culture. This means that any given employee's experience of Sage will be largely based on luck i.e. what kind of line manager they end up working for.

      Thanks for your review. Pleased to read the pay & benefits work well for you and the facilities we provide are well received. Life at Sage is always interesting as well as challenging - we don't hide from the fact it can be hard, but it’ll be a rewarding one and leaving your comfort zone will help you grow in belief and as a person. It would be great to get some context about what you mean about deficiencies in the hiring process? Feel free to give me some further feedback - glassdoor@sage.com. I am delighted to say there is a project currently underway to improve our global on-boarding process - we do have an on-boarding portal for new starters (and before you start) to help new colleagues settle in quickly into their new roles. Thanks again for your review.

      Pros

      Work life balance is the strongest attribute at Sage. Family matters and mental stablity is supported. Top notch benefits.

      Cons

      Departments with mixed roles of similar tasks, yet separate teams without collaboration.

      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.
