Vantaggi

The graduate scheme was a great start to life at Sage. The pay was good for a graduate and you get good benefits. There was no strict rules about when you should attend the office and managers seemed very supportive.

Svantaggi

After a couple of years, managers seems to change the way they treat people once they had extracted all the information they needed. Pay rises went from good jumps to 1.5% increases (less than inflation). Many managers I worked with received promotions off what was seemingly the work I was doing, whilst I was still in the same role. Once I started asking for promotions, I was removed from major projects and asked to train my replacements. The final nail in the coffin was moving to three mandatory days in the office and the CEO stating that if you don't like that, Sage isn't the place for you. They seemed to have forgotten one of their four values was human, I guess it's AI now?

Vantaggi

-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

Svantaggi

-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
