Pros

Great environment to work in with loads of opportunities and things to get involved with. Newcastle office is a great office to work from and you can feel a 'buzz' when you're there, always has something going on for colleagues to get involved in, network, and learn something new. Colleagues are really friendly and happy to help or teach you something. Sage's benefits really are unmatched when comparing to other companies and the share save scheme is amazing. There is a talent market place internally and it lets you find new opportunities at sage and allows you to pick up short work 'gigs' in different departments if you have the time. This is a great way to network and see how you like a different area of the businesses without having to apply for a new role. The culture is always improving and making Sage a great place to work. Workshops for managers, so many training opportunities and continuous learning. Hybrid working scheme allowing working from home.

Cons

Not much opportunity to travel and meet other team members. It feels like this is saved for higher level colleagues which is a shame, it should be seen as an investment in teams for global teams to meet more regularly instead of a cost that can be cut often. Processes can be lengthy and dated. Pay scale is very mixed, pay is not bad but no one talks about it so can be huge differences in what someone is paid for doing the same role.

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.
