Vantaggi

Sage Foundation offers 5 days volunteering. Some very talented leaders in the business - sadly some of the best are leaving. Exciting opportunities for growth and development and at last has a clear product roadmap. Premises being improved - gym etc

Svantaggi

Don't seem to really care what people think - latest survey was a sham, forced to give only good comments. Leaders don't listen and don't spend enough time with their teams. Bullies thrive here. Tendency to hire and fire - objectives never clear, lots of leaders who need training in the basics. CEO is superficial - just wants to look good and spread fake news. Doesn't have real conversations - just lots of smiles. And Only wants to here good news. Poor work life balance - lots of people off on sick increasing pressure for everyone. HR are very poor.

Thanks for your feedback. The Sage Foundation is amazing. Our people are great and there's lots of opportunities to excel at Sage - we don't like losing talent but it's always great to hear when ex-colleagues go on to do really well and thank Sage for help in getting there. Our CEO, Stephen Kelly, is honest and loves meeting colleagues across Sage and gaining their feedback. He's just had a couple of days with colleagues in Switzerland, France, Spain and Germany - he held fireside chats, all hands calls etc - in his words "I go to the front line offices typically more than once a week - to see what's happening and the impact our colleagues make at the sharp end". We announced the other day that a Board Associate has been nominated to bring the voice of colleagues into the Board's deliberations. The Board Associate will be expected to improve the channels of communication between colleagues, and other key stakeholders, and the board. Thanks again for your review.

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

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful and balanced review. We’re pleased to hear that you value your compensation and benefits, as well as the work our Foundation do, among the areas you’ve highlighted. We also recognise the points you’ve raised around bureaucracy, innovation, and the pace and focus of change. Different people are motivated by different things at work, and it’s helpful to hear honest perspectives on how our structure, processes, and priorities can impact day‑to‑day experience and engagement. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing conversations as we continue to evolve our ways of working, use technology more meaningfully, and improve the products and experiences we create for our customers. If you’re open to sharing further insight, we encourage you to do so through our Always Listening survey. Thank you again for your openness and for being part of Sage.
