Pros

Sage perks... i guess. Building is decent, but now Stephen Kelly has got rid of one of the cafes it's not so great.

Cons

I'd like to know why when I applied I was not told about sales in Tech? This is pushed heavily on to us and causes so much stress. Sage do not care AT ALL about customer service, only sales leads. They'd rather we got a sales lead, which then has to be converted by sales (completely out of our control), then we will be penalised if it doesn't convert, than actually helping the customer. It is the most soul destroying environment I've ever been subjected to. Do not believe the current job descriptions, in tech support even if you have amazing CSAT and other scores, if your sales leads aren't up there you will be put through extreme stress. The method of dealing with customers (get them off the phone ASAP even though they've been on the phone 6 times this morning) is SO unethical.

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.
