Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are glad to know that you feel supported by your team but we are sorry that you are not yet having a predominantly positive life at Sage experience. We usually have our office magic events quite regularly and these can act as wider team events. We encourage you to come into the office with your teams and enjoy connecting over the different activities that take place on office magic days. On development, we encourage you to check out our Talent Marketplace platform because it is a game-changer to career growth that we know you'll get a lot of use out of. Please keep sharing your thoughts with us so that we can stay on the path of knocking down barriers for you to thrive!

Pros

-Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

Cons

-Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs

Different people are motivated by different things at work, and it’s helpful to hear honest perspectives on how our structure, processes, and priorities can impact day‑to‑day experience and engagement. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing conversations as we continue to evolve our ways of working, use technology more meaningfully, and improve the products and experiences we create for our customers.
