Vantaggi

Great people – not so great higher management

Svantaggi

I’ve been with the company for a few years now, even before the pandemic hit. When COVID shut everything down, the company did a great job adapting so we could all work from home. And guess what? We still nailed our goals and kept things running smoothly. So, I’m really puzzled by the new rule that we have to be in the office at least three days a week. It feels like a step back, especially since we’ve proven we can be just as productive from home. If some people aren’t hitting their targets, maybe they need a different solution, but it doesn’t seem fair to make everyone come in because of that. On a personal note, this change is a huge hit to my work-life balance. My family has grown during this time, and being able to work from home has been a lifesaver. Now, with a commute that takes me 3 hours and 20 minutes round trip on a good day, it’s almost impossible for my husband and me to juggle everything with the kids. I hope the company will reconsider this policy or at least offer some support for those of us who are really struggling with the commute and childcare. Maybe there’s a better way to handle this that doesn’t put so much strain on everyone.

Please note that our hybrid working approach is an important element of the way we work at Sage that is complemented by other benefits such as paid time to volunteer, the ability to work away for up to 10 weeks a year and free well-being support tools.

Vantaggi

Working at Sage these past 4 years has been both rewarding and energizing. I’ve really valued the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across the business while helping evolve our Developer Content organization into a broader developer experience and AI-enabled function. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing how open people are to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s been exciting to contribute to initiatives that improve both internal workflows and the experience for our developer community. I’m grateful for the relationships, growth opportunities, and trust I’ve been given throughout the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

Svantaggi

With so much innovation and transformation happening across the company, priorities can evolve quickly — but it also creates exciting opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute to meaningful change.

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
