      Not a nice place anymore - Anonymous employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Great building, good facilities onsite. Still has a lot of employees who are genuinely knowledgeable and want to do their best for the customer.

      Cons

      Has gone rapidly downhill as a place to work over the last few years - more so over the last year - and no sign of improvement. The current CEO is hideously out of touch with anything happening at a local level. Unreachable targets, no effort to keep committed and experienced people. Full of buzzwords and enforced positivity with blinkered upper management and morale getting lower by the day.

      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.
