Pros

Good benefits (but that is where it stops)

Cons

If you are interesting for a position at this company, Run - don't walk, out the door. Read the other reviews carefully and you will see a consistent theme: Lack of leadership, limited onboarding, IT systems that are disparate and inhibit you from doing your top, and an attitude from the top-down that you can treat employees however you want to treat them without reprisal. In my 15 years of professional working, I have NEVER worked for a more abusive and dysfunctional organization.

Thanks for your review. It’s disappointing to read some of your comments – this is not the Sage we recognize. Our leadership team are working hard across the whole business to ensure One Sage is a great place to work. There's been a lot of change and as a business we recognize that change is needed, it's not always comfortable, but as we focus on the end goal (customers first, One Sage), we will be a great and powerful team. As you can tell from other reviews, it is our people that make this a great place to work. If you would like to provide us with more detailed feedback please contact us on glassdoor@sage.com

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
