Pros

None, except for catering for lunch. And they had snacks constantly stocked in the fridge. Literally that was the only thing that was good about working there.

Cons

Everything. From training, to the manager (who was based out of the UK), the leadership team (abusive and toxic - they would yell at employees and belittle you with no empathy or regard for your emotions), all the way down the resources that were given to you to do your job (which was very little). And not to mention, they demanded a high level of performance within 2 months of working there. Wasn't even enough time to get trained effectively or learn how to do the job. My manager, who's name I will not mention (it rhymes with "hallux") was verbally abusive towards me, non-stop. They're was a huge cultural barrier because all the higher ups were from the UK and treated the US employees like crap. I had zero work/life balance. I was working 80+ weeks without any support from my manager. He would say "you're the expert, you should know what to do." It was not hard for me to quit.

Work life balance is the strongest attribute at Sage. Family matters and mental stablity is supported. Top notch benefits.

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.
