Sage Reviews

Pros

In the last 10 months or so, we have refocused, realigned, got very clear on our purpose, been clear on the lenses we will make our choices on (customers, colleagues and innovation) and we’ve mobilised and changed the way we are thinking about what we do. In truth it’s been difficult but ten months in its fantastic to see the energy and passion it’s brought back into the fabric of who we are, what we do and why we do it. The energy is infectious and it’s even more exciting to think about what we can achieve together. Things that I love Sage foundation Inclusivity Training for managers Removing old 1970s style performance reviews and replacing with agile, development led iterations Realigned bonus Investment in things that matter and how i can see the link to the strategy Matched behaviours with our mission - it’s no longer corporate words on a slide deck - it’s tangible

Cons

Structurally we need to make sure we don’t over complicate and we MUST continue to simplify the experience we all have when at work. Legacy ways of working need reinvented to adjust to the new thinking. Things we need to change Complicated sign off processes More accountability deeper in regions Clearer frameworks for people to work in - guides not rules Stop and start projects more clearly - get really decisive on our priorities

Pros

- Quick to get everyone working from home - took initiative to start preparations even before UK government shared suggestions - Constant updates and comms from CEO Steve Hare, UKI MD Sabby Gill and CPO Amanda Cusdin to keep all colleagues informed every step of the way and open to ALL questions asked by colleagues - Continued BAU attitude but with greater focus on mental health, new working conditions, honest discussions - Promise to pay £12.50 per day to EVERY UK colleague to cover extra working from home costs i.e. electricity, heating, water, etc. - Decent healthplan however this could be better and offer more - Sage Foundation is amazing and offers so much to communities

Cons

- Always a slight concern about job safety at Sage as structure and strategies are changing all the time (with or without Coronavirus) - hard to feel 'safe' - Technology could be better for a tech company (laptops for all, updated software, etc.) - Development opportunities are there but difficult to find

Pros

The support and response from the company on COVID-19 has been nothing short of phenomenal. To convert the whole business at such short notice to working from home has been incredible. Even the support our leaders are showing, from dev managers to directors to VP’s to the CEO. Enabling everyone to continue working whilst being at home, with flexibility to allow for childcare, pets etc has been so helpful. It’s been so simple to get on with our work without worrying about if we’ll get paid or how we’ll cope. Regular updates from the leadership team on how we are dealing with COVID-19 as a company has been really reassuring.

Cons

At the moment my only con is the building move to cobalt as it will extend my commute - but that pales into insignificance compared with the current state of the world.

Pros

Assigned your own Talent Acquisition Sage employee. Helpful Staff. Friendly team during interview process.

Cons

Start mid April, so can't possibly list any cons right now. No cons during interview process.

Pros

Throughout the worst crisis any of us will have ever experienced, Sage have shown their true colours. They have stood by their employees, provided calm, measured reassurance, and set themselves up as one of the greatest employers you could wish for. From the CEO to a Team Leader, the message has been consistent - look after yourselves, look after your family and look after each other. Friends and family members have lost jobs, taken pay cuts and suffered real uncertainty - Sage has doubled down and given all UK collegaues extra money whilst working from home. Our key value of Do The Right Thing is more than a value, it's our way of life. I've never felt prouder of where I work. :)

Cons

No cons I can think of
