RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sage full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
The pros are the people, they make it; my colleagues care about what they do, many of them are amazing at what they do and for the rest of us like me, its an organisation and culture that cares about helping us grow. I also really value the 5 days a year we get to do voluntary work for local charities and the really good training and accreditation provision; I feel invested in.
Cons
The cons are the size of the organisation. If you want to work somewhere where they have the capacity to do things to the best of industry standard you have to accept that it will be a big company like Sage. That said, all the folk I've worked with here are friendly and there's always someone who knows someone who you can talk to to get anything done.
Advice to Management
Keep going in the current direction; it's improving all the time and it's got some great things ahead.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sage full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Huge strides are being made in changing the culture at Sage in the 6 months, with increased focus on colleague engagement and investment in people. The strategy is now clearer than at any point in the last 3/4 years, with a more collective sense of purpose among colleagues.
There are a wealth of opportunities internally for those who wish to progressCons
Very few , huge improvements have been made in the last 6 months at Sage, with a far more positive and engaging culture from the ExCo.
Advice to Management
We must keep the momentum in our focus on colleague engagement and make sure we invest in our talent, people are Sage's biggest asset,
