Thank you for your review. We are committed to ensuring that all Sage leaders role-model our values and are equipped to support and develop their teams. Colleague career development is also a priority at Sage. We are working hard to provide even better visibility and accessibility to all colleague development opportunities (securing a new role, accessing personal development training, or even taking up new project opportunities). We always strive to be better, and your feedback helps us understand where to focus our efforts.
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.
