      Pros

      You gain experience of what a place looks like with really poor management.

      Cons

      The company and senior management are stuck in the eighties. They will try to be relevant by using terminology (anybody hear about cloud and API's lately?), but they have no clue what they are doing. Then there's the thing where the entire company is now basically run by a single person (a large multinational with the same person as CFO, COO and CEO isn't alarming at all!). They absolutely refuse to listen to employees, but as with everything else, they will pretend to. Real experience: they were doing kick-off sessions, asking employees to submit questions which would be answered on-stage. Surprisingly, some questions actually made it to the app, but they were all deleted before the event. Everything is censored, there is absolutely no way that you can have an open and honest conversation with senior management.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Strong company. Customer focus.

      Cons

      Frequent Executive changes. Trimming in Engineering teams interferes with product changes.

      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
