Pros

It was great until they devalued the positions and started to half a revolving door type of atmosphere.

Cons

Terrible management and work enviornment. Worked there for over 6 years. Devalued positions and staff. Miserable place

Thanks for your feedback. Our new interim CPO, Amanda Cusdin, said earlier today that she wants to develop employee engagement across Sage as it's important we listen to our people. She said we drive hard for results so it's important we look after our people. The outcome of the recent colleague survey is currently being shared and she's also committed to ensure we continue listening to our people. Thanks again.

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.
