Pros

Amazing people to work with

Cons

Sage values: Human: untrue, Sage does not care Trust: many employees have lost any trust they may have had recently Bold: yes it is probably bold to expect employees to commute for double the time and travel costs because operations felt like closing a local office while leaving other remote offices open. It’s also bold to give one of the reasons for this closure as wanting to create a great office vibe, while expecting a whole department to suddenly commute to another city. Simplify: the company sure simplified things for themselves by closing certain offices and burdening their employees with extra costs for commuting as well as taking time away from their families

We appreciate your feedback and have read through your comments. Please note that our hybrid working approach is an important element of the way we work at Sage that is complemented by other benefits such as paid time to volunteer, the ability to work away for up to 10 weeks a year and free well-being support tools. We recently also answered several colleagues' questions about the new 3-day policy. In doing so, we've shed more light on how colleagues will be supported as they adhere to our updated hybrid structure.

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.
