Sage Reviews

Pros

Career Opportunities & D&I - Focused on doing the right thing and ensuring everyone is regularly offered and takes advantage of mandatory trained on critical topics such as Security, Quality, Diversity and Inclusion. Provide access to multiple online and webinar trainings to develop their People. Technology - a huge variety of tech' and a driving movement towards Cloud offering yet more opportunities from Salesforce, .Net, C#, Java, JS, Angular, REST, API's, Selenium etc. Comp' & Benefits - tangible bonus system that you have control over a proportion of making personal responsibility a key attribute of their employees. This sparks people on to giving their best. I could go on for days. Culture and Values - Satisfaction surveys where actions is promptly taken. Sensible Senior Management - Switched on, smart, capable and care about their people (not resources). Fully recognise the value we all bring and are appreciative at every opportunity. Covid - absolutely outstanding in caring for staff health and wellbeing, avoided Furlough, protected jobs, considerate of everyone's situation and been fantastic with comm's, updates, flexibility and resources such as free Mindfulness app. Work/Life Balance - Incredibly supportive of this with flexible hours, open conversations on concerns in this area and help always available from managers to juggle the Covid new world we live in. Additionally (unprompted) offered 3 additional wellbeing days off on top of annual leave to spend on caring for ourselves so we bring our best selves to work every day. I've worked for many employers from start-ups to blue chip and rarely do I wax lyrical about how good an employer is, as I have high standards. Sage has regularly exceeded these in my 4 years here.

Cons

None that I can think of. Big company making big changes but somehow manage to have that small startup touch.

Pros

The greatest company I have ever worked for! Amazing staff who make you feel a part of a team and been amazing for support during the pandemic

Cons

Nothing to say, great compant

Pros

Salary is fantastic. The Culture at Sage is like nothing i have experienced before, for such a big company, it feels very personal. The regular communication from both managers and colleagues is brilliant. You never feel alone and thanks to teams, it is easy to reach out to anybody! Sage give their employees so many benefits - too many to list, but they are a great incentive and reward. Wellbeing - The Sage culture really promotes mental and physical wellbeing. Mental health is a big topic on a day to day basis. They really do look after you. Holiday entitlement - This is a great incentive to work for sage, you get all of your holiday days + bank holidays + 5x Sage foundation days and in 2021 3 x wellbeing days. It really is unheard of.

Cons

I can't think of anything that i would consider a con at this point in time. Even starting Sage remotely has been a joy. There has been so much support. The colbalt office will prove a difficult commute though.

Pros

The recruitment team is very supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. They take time to listen to every query and are absolutely prompt in responding . Even the interview process had been a pleasant experience.

Cons

None I can mention from my experience

Pros

Strong job security for most roles (occasionally positions do become redundant but not very often) Immediate team/colleagues are always friendly and helpful.

Cons

Remote working took off the table by middle management despite upper management saying there would be 'flexibility' "Older" management do not value employee wishes to work from home full time, they say they do at the company level but then the teams decide. Legacy software is terrible to work with and no end in sight for teams responsible for maintaining it, would much rather be working on the 'cool' new stuff.

Pros

Culture of colleague and customer focus. Willingness and desire to be a brilliant place to work. Senior Management who make balanced decisions.

Cons

There is some inefficiency and systems/processes still need to be improved. While there are people who have been here for a long time there is some feeling that experience in the business is lacking to execute the strategy to its full.

Pros

Business priorities are clear and tangible commitment to making colleagues professional lives rewarding and to creating an innovation culture.

Cons

It's still a big business and its built up a lot of control mechanisms and mindset over the years which are barriers to change and innovation.

Pros

Benefits, People, going in the right direction

Cons

Complexity, can be political, alignment

Pros

Sage provides lot of benefits to the employees and great support from the start. The onboarding process was very well streamlined. The HR team were really supportive in resolving all the queries as quick as possible. I am really proud to join the Sage family.

Cons

I am yet to feel the work environment at Sage but so far I had a great support whenever needed.
