Vantaggi

• salary/ wages are reasonable/ above average. • Colleagues I work with directly are friendly/ good to work with. • Flexible working conditions i.e. work from home • "Seemingly" trying to resolve internal issues.

Svantaggi

• Under-staffed, under resourced and unreasonable project completion times causing pressures from "SLT" (so-called senior leadership team) that trickles down. This results in a stressful environment. • Focuses on quantity and not quality in the way of projects/ products. • Confused agenda and strategy. • Self-interest/ blame culture - misaligned priorities (in departments and management) mean everyone is looking out for themselves. • Time- wasting (redundant/ irrelevant meetings, admin tasks that are not meaningful) and bureaucracy (segregation in departments/ services not located locally) adds to difficulty in being productive or effective.

We really appreciate you taking the time to write a review and from your response we can see that you genuinely care. As you stated, you are a long-time Sage colleague, so thank you for your commitment. I am sorry that you don’t feel the culture change is for the better. We are actively finding new and improved ways to make changes for the better and many of these are a direct result of our colleagues’ feedback thru our various internal channels one of which is the pulse survey.

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.
