Thanks for your feedback. Really pleased to read you found our people friendly - this isn't surprising though, as our colleagues are amazing! We are indeed very proud of our roots. Quite surprised you found the salary poor - we are competitive with our salaries and benchmark them against other software companies. Sage has great products created by our amazing Product teams across the globe - our innovations include Pegg, the world's first chat bot for accountants. Our ambition is to ensure our customers have zero admin. An example of what we've recently done to achieve this goal is with our bank feeds. Lloyds Bank recently became the latest in a line of banks to go live with Sage’s Bank Feeds service. The bank feeds service benefits businesses by enabling the automation of large portions of manual transactional bookkeeping work with data flowing seamlessly from banks into accounting software - freeing up significant amounts of time as businesses drive to increase efficiency and productivity. Thanks for your feedback and we hope you continue to have a successful career.

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.
