      Pros

      Used to make decent commission when sage was chasing a number

      Cons

      Ridiculous pressure Outdated products Buzz words used that mean nothing Team managers on the whole are useless, lazy and add no value- over paid Senior managers are on the whole equally rubbish. Use uk market as a cash cow. If chasing or behind a number, increase the price Focus on america- ceo rarely in the WORLD HEADQUARTERS- newcastle Too interested in linkedin posts showing what a great company it is, its all rubbish In 18months steve and steve will have left with a lot of money and sage will be screwed. Customers leaving in droves If you kiss enough backside you are bound to suceed to a level

      Thanks for your feedback. We hope you raised your concerns during the many internal channels we have as well as completing the recent Your Voice survey. The results were published yesterday on YourSage, and shows the majority of Sage colleagues would recommend Sage as a place of work, which is an increase since the Your Voice Survey last year. Overall our people have a positive relationship with their line manager - overall Sage’s Management Index is nearly 80% . A culture is a sum of its people, and our 14,000 colleagues worldwide work hard everyday to build something great. We are very proud of the efforts and passion they share for one another and our customers. I am sorry to see that you have had a negative experience, and hope that you will take a moment to contact our people services team so that we can make it better for everyone.

      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.
