Vantaggi

Pleasant enough environment to work. Nice location. Some great people (though not many). There are some great amangers (though not many).

Svantaggi

You get the sense that one day, many, many years ago, Sage was a great place to work, filled with brilliant talented people who had a vision. Not so now. Jobs-worth managers who can't actually manage. Hack programmers who think that programming is something you learn from a book. Hint : It's not. It's a learned skill. You only get good by programming A LOT. Some seriously anti-social personalities in their organisation. No focus. No drive. No real passion for anything except pleasing on-lookers and the media.

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to read you didn't have a great experience whilst you were at Sage. One thing we receive lots of positive feedback is about our people - so much praise about how fantastic our colleagues are, so it's surprising to read you didn't find many in Newcastle. We have many talented developers who do an awesome job developing new technology. We wish you well with your career.

Vantaggi

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Svantaggi

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
