      Pros

      - Good work/life balance - Some brilliant hard working colleagues

      Cons

      After Covid, Sage demonstrated the art of the possible, where work was a job not a place. I used to be a valued colleague now I'm just a number. A high performance culture "strategy" underpinned with what? Average leadership training, hiring freezes, redundancies and poor pay - translating to a work hard for less reward culture. Let's top off an already low morale with a 3 mandate back to office, that will be managed through formal process... where is the trust in your colleagues and leadership to get the job done! STOP investing money into offices that you perceive to be market leading... they're not. Sage's offices are buildings with desks... news flash so is my house! Do we have a creche for working parents? Or do you provide free meals for employees in offices like Google do? If you're return to office mandate was underpinned with actions that supported working parents, or colleagues who were struggling with the cost of living … then maybe we'd all be running back! Alas Sage's ELT proves once again that they are so wildly out of touch with the reality of working peoples lives. We used to have an amazing inclusive culture but let's be honest, those days are long gone!

      Pros

      Working at Sage these past 4 years has been both rewarding and energizing. I’ve really valued the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across the business while helping evolve our Developer Content organization into a broader developer experience and AI-enabled function. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing how open people are to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s been exciting to contribute to initiatives that improve both internal workflows and the experience for our developer community. I’m grateful for the relationships, growth opportunities, and trust I’ve been given throughout the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

      Cons

      With so much innovation and transformation happening across the company, priorities can evolve quickly — but it also creates exciting opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute to meaningful change.

      Pros

      -Pay’s decent -Benefits are solid -The Sage Foundation feels like proper philanthropy -Some genuinely nice people -If you’re happy treating work as just a payslip and don’t mind things being a bit dull, Sage is actually quite a comfortable place to be. That stability is a real perk

      Cons

      -Far too many layers of middle management and general bureaucracy -The Ai push is getting a bit daft -Not especially innovative, so the work can feel quite uninspiring. I’m grateful to be employed, but if you’re after something more interesting, Sage will probably disappoint. That said, some people prefer it that way, fair enough -The office / hybrid requirements feel a bit pointless -Sage doesn’t tend to do layoffs, which is good, but it does mean there are quite a few people where you’re not entirely sure what they do. A lot of meetings, essentially. Even the positives come with trade-offs
