Sage Reviews

Pros

I joined Sage about 6 months ago, and have been blown away by the focus on being setup to do the right thing whilst delivering world class leading products, the drive for colleagues to succeed and develop, and the feeling of community through the Sage Foundation. Sage has been nothing short of top class during the Covid-19 crisis, and provided employees with regular, clear and consistent messages, the tools and technologies to perform duties from home and the space & support for people to manage home and work commitments. I genuinely believe that I have joined one of the best businesses in the UK if not the world!

Cons

No cons - joining Sage has been the best decision I have made in my career!

Pros

Fantastic leadership team with a clear vision for the company's future. Genuinely cares for it's people, especially during Covid-19 Great salary package and benefits

Cons

Some operational areas are still very siloed, which can cause frustration. History weighs heavy on the company, which can slow innovation

Pros

Fantastic people, smart offices, free parking, catering services on site. Sharesave scheme, fantastic matching contributory pension, competitive salaries, discount schemes, incremental annual leave (option to buy/sell), flexible working, remote working roles, hot-desk options. Superb handling of Covid-19 pandemic, ensuring all staff globally working remotely, masses of updates and reassurance, a clear focus on supporting customers and staff, no furloughing, free headspace memberships. FTSE100 giant with HQ at the heart of where it all began in the Toon (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) ... need I say anymore...?

Cons

You'll never want to leave.

Pros

Was a good opportunity to learn, but a toxic culture where only "sucking up" would get you promoted. I went in to learn, and I learned quickly to get out again. Decent pay (could be better if you got rid of all the useless staff who only turn up for a paycheck, they're dragging everyone down with them). Great engineers. Senior Management, not so much.

Cons

Will happily work you into the ground. Senior management very out of touch with reality. You will be seen as just a number. If you expect to change anything, you're going to be very disappointed - too much dead weight to carry. Everyone will be out to take credit for any decent work you do. Don't expect any credit.

Pros

I've worked at Sage for over 10 years now in various roles and have to say that I've been so impressed with the companies attitude and support since Steve Hare was appointed as CEO in the way that the company has evolved and the way it looks after its workforce and never more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic. I've especially seen UKI leadership really step up the mark in ensuring that our colleague success focus really is at the heart of making Sage a success. Homeworking across the entire business with put into place within a matter of days even for those roles that previously could never be done from home (the business and our colleagues have made it work), we've been given free access to mindfullness and healthcare apps not just for ourselves but for our family to also use, encouraged to use volunteer time to support local causes virtually during the pandemic and just this morning have also been given extra time off for the whole UKI and Ireland business to spend with our families. Sage along with its management team has been hugely supportive and flexible during this time and understands the challenges of home working with young children. I'm extremely proud to work for a company that values its employees so highly.

Cons

None currently, I'm extremely impressed with the way that we're valued
