Pros

I've been with SAGE a number of years, which is not unusual. People tend to stay, because the benefits are great, especially for parents. Maternity Leave is very generous and has allowed me to have 6 months fully paid with both my children. People are lovely and enjoy their jobs, for the most part. Bonuses can be generous, especially in Sales roles.

Cons

Pay grades are really low, compared to the market. People don't leave, so progression gets stunted relatively easily. When people do leave (due to lack of pay/ progression), their role duties are shared among colleagues, rather than recruiting new staff. Same with maternity cover. It's a shambles and very difficult for mat cover to pick up a role that has become multifaceted over a period of time - so the problem compounds. Diversity is lacking, but this is a sector issue, not just a SAGE issue.

Pros

- Reasonable pay - Ease of leave application

Cons

- Political environment more than working environment. - Colleague who intervene your private life for benefit of their own. - Genuine staffs are not appreciated, therefore lost of people who are performing, remaining people are who can please the MD well. - Be prepared to be scapegoat. - Lengthy approval process over small things because MD need to be pleased to get things approved. - No transparency among colleague, dark secret between management which can't be shared with colleague from other region. - Handling politic issues, gossips, finding scapegoat more than work.
