I joined Sage about 6 months ago, and have been blown away by the focus on being setup to do the right thing whilst delivering world class leading products, the drive for colleagues to succeed and develop, and the feeling of community through the Sage Foundation. Sage has been nothing short of top class during the Covid-19 crisis, and provided employees with regular, clear and consistent messages, the tools and technologies to perform duties from home and the space & support for people to manage home and work commitments. I genuinely believe that I have joined one of the best businesses in the UK if not the world!
Cons
No cons - joining Sage has been the best decision I have made in my career!

You are a number and robot before a human!
Jan 30, 2023 - Sales Development Representative (SDR)RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Teammates: whole SDR team is amazing, everyone is very helpful and does not keep their cards to themselves, we have a good time in the office - PTO: generous PTO, managers are very flexible with vacation time, mental health days, emergency situations, advise you to take advantage of PTO - Direct Management: SDR managers have been great so far, maintain clear lines of communication with them and they will help you be successful. Their compensation is directly tied to yours, so they are always in your corner. - Work/Life Balance: You are expected to work 8 hours a day, no more, no less. Your work/life balance is what you make it. Work to live, not live to work. - Office Perks: 8 free meals per month, donuts/bagels on Tuesdays, fun events for certain holidays, plenty of volunteer opportunities, private parking garage (free)
Cons
- Upper Management: They say they care about the reps, but don't fall for it. If they did, they would not have gotten rid of our power dialer (when they push constant dials). If they cared, they would not have changed the comp plan to punish those not hitting quota. Only ~20% of the team hits quota. We are in sales, everyone is trying to make the most money. If they cared, they would have offered significant quota relief during the brutal holiday months, amid an insane tech stack change. If they cared, they would not have downgraded our software and instead would have made our workflows more efficient. If they cared, they would not threaten corrective action for violating one of their many rule changes that have not been communicated properly to the team. If they cared, they would put actions in front of their words. If they cared, they would understand that sales is a roller coaster. No sales team will maintain the same level of production all the time. If they cared, they would protect the mental health of their team. If they cared, they would treat those directly tied to the company's revenue much better. Remember, you are expendable. They would much rather just hire a new rep and have them go through weeks of training than to cater to the needs of tenured, high-performing reps, who consistently bring in opportunities for the company. Good luck making it to the AE level internally. If you're good with politics, you'll get there.
