      Pros

      Sage Foundation offers 5 days volunteering. Some very talented leaders in the business - sadly some of the best are leaving. Exciting opportunities for growth and development and at last has a clear product roadmap. Premises being improved - gym etc

      Cons

      Don't seem to really care what people think - latest survey was a sham, forced to give only good comments. Leaders don't listen and don't spend enough time with their teams. Bullies thrive here. Tendency to hire and fire - objectives never clear, lots of leaders who need training in the basics. CEO is superficial - just wants to look good and spread fake news. Doesn't have real conversations - just lots of smiles. And Only wants to here good news. Poor work life balance - lots of people off on sick increasing pressure for everyone. HR are very poor.

      Thanks for your feedback. The Sage Foundation is amazing. Our people are great and there's lots of opportunities to excel at Sage - we don't like losing talent but it's always great to hear when ex-colleagues go on to do really well and thank Sage for help in getting there. Our CEO, Stephen Kelly, is honest and loves meeting colleagues across Sage and gaining their feedback. He's just had a couple of days with colleagues in Switzerland, France, Spain and Germany - he held fireside chats, all hands calls etc - in his words "I go to the front line offices typically more than once a week - to see what's happening and the impact our colleagues make at the sharp end". We announced the other day that a Board Associate has been nominated to bring the voice of colleagues into the Board's deliberations. The Board Associate will be expected to improve the channels of communication between colleagues, and other key stakeholders, and the board. Thanks again for your review.

      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.
