      Pros

      I appreciate the culture at Sage—it fosters a fantastic work/life balance, and the flexibility in schedules is a significant plus. The inclusion of community service paid time off adds an extra layer of balance, making it an overall enriching experience.

      Cons

      The compensation falls on the lower side of the standard pay scale for this role. Frequent budget cuts, particularly targeting the marketing budget, can impact the ability to maintain a robust pipeline. Additionally, there is a lack of well-established standard operating processes within the organization.

      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.
