Vantaggi

Excellent benefits and opportunities .. I feel looked after here

Svantaggi

Non technical middle management layers in engineering lengthening reporting chains and diluting progress. We are not agile, we have no scrum masters. We have no one visibly owning a methodology or a culture and the two are linked. Engineers are a little lost and unhappy, key people are leaving and we cannot find people to fill these roles which is madness in the current climate. The way we work is out of date and the right people don’t want to stay.

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
