      The largest dysfunctional org I've ever witnessed. Massive reboot is needed to curve Sage's slow, expensive tailspin. - Manager Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      Nice office and free snacks among others mirages to bait and hide the catastrophe. The people below middle and upper management are really great people and act like humans. There are some gems in management, but the lack of systems to spot bad leaders is nonexistent. There's not repeatable way Sage has found yet to identify and foster good leaders yet. Hence, they have many bad leaders.

      Cons

      HR is rotten to the core for the US. There was a massive exodus last year in talent. The solutions are great example of what not to do to. Ancient design in the cloud may help describe this. Sage's solutions iterate at the pace of a dead snail.

      Thanks for your feedback. Our performance management process identifies colleagues who are under performing and performance improvement plans are put in place to help get these colleagues back on track. If colleagues' (including leaders') performance continues to be unacceptable they may be exited from the organisation – and this is happening! The Talent Review process would identify these risks / future gaps in leadership and plan succession pipelines for these positions. This is something we are taking incredibly seriously and we have made commitments to our board to strengthen our leadership pipeline. Our Code of Conduct and Sage Values and Behaviours describe the standards we expect from all colleagues in ‘how’ they achieve their goals at Sage. These frameworks underpin our Leading @ Sage Programme which was launched in April. Thanks again for your feedback.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
