Everything changes, but somehow stays the same - constantly

Marketing manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance and benefits are good. Low pressure, mostly - due to the nature of academic publishing

Cons

Slow to adapt Overreliance on AI People leave and aren't replaced (therefore workload just accumulates - and the remaining team just do the best they can) When a colleague took extended sick leave, nothing was done - the work just piled up for the period of time she was away - there is no one to cover when unexpected things happen. There have been redundancies every year I've been at Sage since 2018, across every team and every level - not sure how healthy the company is underneath the shiny veneer.

Low compensation and toxic work culture politics

Pros

The flexible WFH opportunity and a good leave system. The work-life balance is as good as one can imagine it to be.

Cons

1) Very low compensation as compared to competitiors 2) Doesn't matter how good your performance is or how great and asset you are to the company - zero retention policy 3) The company once known for a fair and inclusive appraisal and promotion cycle has now the appraisal cycle mostly running on personal bias of the managers. I have seen so many talented people move to another company for the same . They have been training new recruits with all sincerity and will be sitting at the same designation and the new recruits soon jump up to their level or higher in no time if they have a way with their words with managers. 4) The promotions are simple - doesn't matter how your professional conduct or maturity is, just get good numbers as objectives and be your manager's favourite

Pros

Good feng shui; repeated consultations with feng shui master; prayers held in the office; relocated office to improve MD’s luck.

Cons

Some leaders manipulate information, sow discords among the team and bully to safeguard their authority and cover up their bad, erratic, bias and unethic behaviors. Promoted undeserving puppet, giving more staffs, budget, travel, simple tasks and entertaining to boost her profile.
