Pros

Overall Sage is a good company to work for. Offers an above average salary for this area of the UK. Sage is a friendly company. Lots of good people both technically and personally on the teams. There are good oportunities to work with up to date technologies. Sage also have a good approach to staff training and certification. Newcastle offices are relativly new with good facilities, e.g. canteen, gym, coffee shop etc.

Cons

Lots of office politics around some decisions. Each part of the Sage group and even the departments within one area pretty much work in isolation with very little sharing of effort.

Pros

Its a listed company and global brand. The building is quite nice but the open office can be noisy and distracting when trying to concentrate on programming. Theres free parking buts is a long way from everything.

Cons

Progression opertunities are very limited. They dont pay very well and take advantage of their position in the north east where competition with other employers is favourable. They have behaved badly in recent years by not giving anual cost of living pay rises to people who were over the limit of a new banding pay scale they brought in. Treating people fairly didn't enter into it. Dont come here expecting to earn top money, you never will. Investment in traing and personel development within the technical teams is pityful. I've seen larger training budgets at much smaller companies. Sage ran a Denison survey to gage staff moral, after getting poor results for 2 years in a row it decided it would just run its own so they could 'ask the right questions', obviously the results are better now.
