Pros

There are no longer any Pros as we will be laid-off from our jobs soon.

Cons

Forcing us to teach AI how to do our jobs so that they can eliminate our jobs and replace us with AI.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that you’re feeling concerned about AI and would like to hopefully offer some reassurance on its use and impact. At Sage, AI is designed to be a supportive tool—one that helps accelerate outcomes, enhance productivity, and enable colleagues to innovate more quickly. It is not intended to replace human insight, judgment, or creativity. In fact, AI only delivers real value when paired with the skills, experience, and ingenuity that you and the rest of our colleagues bring. We encourage the use of AI to help free up time for the work that matters most: building relationships, solving problems, thinking creatively, and delivering meaningful value for our customers and each other. These human elements remain central to who we are as a business and continue to guide how we operate and grow. AI is here to support those strengths, not diminish them. Your concerns are important, and we want you to feel supported. We strongly encourage you to speak with your manager or wider leadership team so they can understand how you’re feeling and work with you to ensure you feel confident and comfortable moving forward. We also encourage you to submit a Service Now ticket if you wish to speak to a member of the People team. We’re committed to helping our colleagues navigate change with transparency and empathy.

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

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful and balanced review. We’re pleased to hear that you value your compensation and benefits, as well as the work our Foundation do, among the areas you’ve highlighted. We also recognise the points you’ve raised around bureaucracy, innovation, and the pace and focus of change. Different people are motivated by different things at work, and it’s helpful to hear honest perspectives on how our structure, processes, and priorities can impact day‑to‑day experience and engagement. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing conversations as we continue to evolve our ways of working, use technology more meaningfully, and improve the products and experiences we create for our customers. If you’re open to sharing further insight, we encourage you to do so through our Always Listening survey. Thank you again for your openness and for being part of Sage.
