Sage Products Reviews

Pros

Very welcoming and team oriented. CEO was involved and supportive of people and culture.

Cons

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

Advice to Management

More clarity in reviews and opportunities

Pros

Great people good products

Cons

FDA Recalls. New leadership from Stryker ruining culture.

Pros

Engaged leadership, community partners, great benefits and in a growing industry.

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.

Advice to Management

See what worked for 40+ years and try to embrace it.

Pros

A lot of changes in leadership but all for the better. Many long time Sage leaders who have been with the company want to retire and enjoy their lives. Some don’t want to be part of a larger public company and that’s ok. Not for everyone. The opportunity for advancement now is incredible. We are seeing people move into new roles, promoted in to leadership and have expanded responsibility that would never have happened...

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.

Advice to Management

Continue to keep it personal. Continue to be transparent. Continue to have town halls and keep us informed. Act on Q12 advice. Hold leaders accountable.

Pros

Clean building, good amount of nice people . Clean bathrooms , nice cafeteria and what not , had a nice gym but you had to be hired on for that........

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....

Advice to Management

Stop using people.... stop treating people that are temporary workers like garbage. You care about your products because you care about people well how can you care about that when you treat people in the workplace like this ? That’s pretty hypocritical .

Pros

Before I proceed, I am not one that write reviews but I also appreciate a good experience. This is a good company to work for. I cannot speak for each department but the QC lab was a fun group. The QC supervisor and QC leads were great communicators and expects the best from its team (rightfully so). The QC lab techs all worked together to get their jobs done. Yes, as with every team we have different personality types,...

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!)

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Passion is addicting!

Pros

At the time good benefits and matching 401k.

Cons

Pay was frozen in my position.

Advice to Management

Middle management was rough. Best intentions from the top down got screwed up by middle management

Pros

Good place to work, co-worker seems friendly

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...

Advice to Management

Please don’t harass and laugh and it really hurt feelings.
