      Pros

      the company doesn't have a toxic environment. Very relaxed and friendly people are working. It was 5 stars back in 2019-2020 but now it's two stars

      Cons

      I cannot say the same about the managers comparing to colleagues, they are not very transparent and usually if there's an order/idea comes from above, no one is questioning it and forwarding by doubling it to the bottom. Also there's a management gang where they protect each other no matter if the projects goes well or bad, they are protected, or protecting each other to keep the throne. Remote working policy changed to two days going to the office, even that the people work for another countries in Barcelona has to goto the office and there are several people checking who's coming or not secretly. There's no benefits, basically you have free coffee machine (if you are lucky it will work) and water in the office. Nothing else, no private insurance, no extra thing, nothing. And you will have to deal with weak laptops that are given by the company. Besides that, you will see a lot of managers that you don't know what they are doing. You will be bullied if you give negative feedback about the managers, you should never give feedback, otherwise you will be marked as problem and it will never change.

      Pros

      Working at Sage these past 4 years has been both rewarding and energizing. I’ve really valued the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across the business while helping evolve our Developer Content organization into a broader developer experience and AI-enabled function. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing how open people are to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s been exciting to contribute to initiatives that improve both internal workflows and the experience for our developer community. I’m grateful for the relationships, growth opportunities, and trust I’ve been given throughout the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

      Cons

      With so much innovation and transformation happening across the company, priorities can evolve quickly — but it also creates exciting opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute to meaningful change.

      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
