Sage Products Reviews

Cons

A bit of a boys club and upward mobility was unclear.

Cons

Been there 18 yrs and it’s just sad to see the culture absolutely destroyed the way it has been. Went from a top 10 companies to work for to one of the average at best in the small town it’s located in. HR leadership is so mean and unapproachable.

Cons

FDA Recalls. New leadership from Stryker ruining culture.

Cons

Acquisition by Stryker Medical has leveled some of the truly unique aspects of Sage: promoting from within, community investment, keeping it personal with associates.

Cons

Change is hard. For long time Sage employees I’m sure it looks different and feels different. There are many new faces and many long time leaders have left. But the people that have come in care about our people. They want sage to be successful. We will continue to make changes. Everyone needs to understand we are part of a 16B public company. It is no longer a small private company.

Cons

Being a a temp : impossible to be hired on...., if machines are down you are thrown out and not allowed to work so hired on people have work which is ridiculous it’s just because the multi billion dollar company doesn’t want to help pay extra for people they are using like trash for work. Hmmm.. also you get no benefits obvouiusly ... you aren’t allowed to participate in any activities because you have to be hired on. Good amount of people look down on you because you are a temp and are talked down to. They say they care about you and you working but they honestly don’t because they are using you for when that one hired on co worker calls off on Good Friday that is lazy so you can work then guess what you don’t work the next week.. did I mention that you are told you are fulltime but really a part time if nothing employee?? Do not waste your time working here because guess what ... you will never work and be able to save any money. This is a joke .

Cons

Make no mistake about it, this is a Stryker company now. The majority of upper management now consists of Stryker implants; creating a Vichy-esc community of Sage diaspora looking to either move on, retire, or simply escape the throes of a Stryker occupation.

Sage was a great company before Stryker. Our culture, products, and integrity were the best in the business - no exceptions. Stryker, however, will try to sell you on the idea that we're somehow "better together"; a propagandized campaign slogan that attempts to placate some of the smaller-minded folks who were worried after Sage was purchased. "Better together" - you hear it everywhere. It's getting stale and annoying. We were better before. Period. The culture is slowly dying. The new products are, quite literally, laughable. And the foreseeable future is bleak, despite what they tell you.

But, what does that mean for you as a prospective employee? Probably not as much as it does to the folks who experienced Sage before the sale. Stryker killed Sage, but they're not a terrible company. If you didn't know the old Sage, then there is nothing to miss. Stryker is a global company that can offer opportunity to move between departments, states, or even countries. They're a growth company that has a history of success. In 2018, Sage had the worst year in its history, the consequences of which will hamstring the company for the next several years. But, it will recover eventually. So if you're thinking about joining Sage and can handle a couple lean years, then it's a great time to jump on board. There will be plenty of open positions once the exodus is complete.

Cons

Like I mentioned above, I cannot speak for the company as a whole but I enjoyed the few months in the QC lab and maybe i wasn't there long enough to see loop holes. Any cons I might have seen are all fixable and might have being fixed while I was there. (Btw had nothing to do with me, it's all a team effort, so shut up!)

Cons

Pay was frozen in my position.

Cons

Bad management and also have no empathy, when at first they would treat you nicely and being friendly with you, they would make you “feel welcome” but with time goes on, when a mistake is made, they would harass and use a lot of criticism to you, pushing them, causing the behavior to change. They don’t seem to take their job seriously, in fact they were involved in 6 FDA recalls regarding to the healthcare products. If it happens once, and they can fix it, no problem, but if they are 6 recalls in a number of years recently, then something is up, and on the last note to it, when something would happen in work, they would laugh and thinks it’s funny, it’s not, it really does not, in fact, on the last day of work, they were talking about breaking a policy, then laugh about it, they don’t understand feeling at all and this place should shaken up to the core and they should take their jobs seriously and learn how to treat with respect in a correct way. Also with lot of patience too
