      Pros

      None that I can think of genuinely. I don't have good memories of my time there. A few great people but these are leaving

      Cons

      I was a recent hire to Sage. When I was recruited I was sold something that was so far away from reality. I knew in my first month that things would not work out but I stuck it out to give it a chance. Now I wish I hadn't because it was time I will never get back. Whatever you do ask questions before accepting a role there. Make sure to ask to speak to a team member so you can find out the truth and see the level of unhappiness in the teams. You will be sold a company that is transforming when in reality a lot of poor leaders are papering over the cracks of the past with bad decisions and short term bets that will have little impact in that effort for transformation. The only thing you can learn is from the mistakes you made by not asking the important questions before you sign your contract

      Thanks for your review. Sorry things didn't work out for you, which is a shame. Sometimes, companies and individuals aren't right for each other, and alas it sounds like this was one of those cases. Our people are amazing and looking on social media you can see so much love and enthusiasm our people have for Sage during the FY18 kick-offs. We wish you every success with your career.

      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.
