Pros

None. Seriously can't think of any benefits

Cons

Firstly - it's cringe to see all of the fake reviews posted on here. Seems that the company have asked some of their more loyal staff to give 5 star reviews to drag the rating up. Senior management push their own agendas. Forcing people back in the office for 3 days "or there will be consequences" when you employed people on remote agreements or one day a fortnight. There are people in the company genuinely going off with stress due to the fact they will be sacked in the new year and can't physically go in for 3 days (and Sage will reply and give the standard hybrid speil here) Pushing a half-assed ai agenda Pushing to new territories when existing platform isn't good enough PMs make all the calls and ignore the teams expertise Putting people on PIPs as underhanded tactics to make them leave, or pave the way to get shut of them C-suite team are a bunch of old school people who are so removed from the real world... Telling people "if you don't agree to the new terms, find another job" easy then your earning hundred of thousands, or even millions a year. The minions at the bottom don't have it as easy to pay for child care, dog care, travel costs etc.

Pros

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

Cons

Departments with mixed roles of similar tasks, yet separate teams without collaboration.

Pros

Some of the people are genuinely rockstars in their crafts. The insurance is top notch and PTO is generous.

Cons

Company culture and morale are awful. The salaries are low, policies are dated and not equitable, product and internal tech is dated. Rapid changes due to poor leadership and frequent turnover. Leadership does not seem to possess the ability to pivot once decisions have been made, even if the decision was the wrong one. Company personality is archaic and as far away from forward-thinking as possible.
