      Pros

      * as things go in any big company, if you're lucky you can get into a great team. Most of teams, are good, with common frustrations and challenges to deal with. I've never met a toxic aggressive manager, most of the people I've worked with just want to do a good job. * they have different programs to enrich your knowledge (ex. Pluralsight) * they do meetups at the office for different special occasions, and they're always fun - never had a bad experience, only fun! * they have voluntary programs, which helps the local community * amazing QA community, never seen anything like this - proof of great management in the past - now not that many of old management present (fired, or pushed to move on) * great end of the year bonus

      Cons

      * each year we have record breaking profits, but they stopped promotions, raises, they fired people and told them to start using AI * you will get stuck with pretty much the same salary and position, from day one.(1st year gets you a guaranteed 1% raise, second year between 3%-5%, and pretty much a max of 5% each year) * regarding promotions, I've seen employees of over 8 years that didn't get promoted. My case is the same, a few years in the company, no promotion, mind you every year I get exceptional reviews. So if I didn't get a chance, what chances do the normal performers have? * from my perspective, the way management is handling these things, makes that mediocrity flourishes * team buildings are non-existent, so if you're thinking of going with your team for a day trip to do something special together, better forget about it * they're not part of innovation, but trend seeker * IT team the worst I've ever seen in a company, private DMs seen but not replied, tickets kept open for MONTHS (not exaggerating) * management can be passive towards underperformers, and not repaying exceptional performers. (again mediocrity flourishes here)

      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
