Pros

Flexible working in some teams.

Cons

When senior members of your HR team write passive aggressive LinkedIn posts regarding return to office, it kind of sums up the current culture.

Thank you for leaving your review. We want to stress that no colleagues are mandated nor begged to leave reviews. Glassdoor is part of our listening strategy, so colleagues are encouraged to leave feedback here, but that is completely at their discretion. Colleagues writing posts on their own LinkedIn profiles do so independently. As an organisation, we are guided by our values, and being Human is part of that. That being said, we know that we can always get better at communicating, and we strive to keep doing so. Although it might not fully resonate with you at the moment, please be assured that our culture is still supportive, empowering and people-focused. As we strengthen it, we hope this will shine more clearly in your experiences.

Disappointing Decline in Colleague-Centred Values

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some solid benefits, including healthcare and pension plans. There are also pockets of career development opportunities if your face fits. Some colleagues genuinely want to make a difference, and a collaborative spirit exists within some departments despite the limitations created by top-down mandates. However, these positives are often overshadowed by restrictive policies that undermine flexibility and morale.

Cons

The recently enforced three-day-a-week office mandate feels like a deliberate move towards forced attrition, with little regard for employee needs or work-life balance. Leadership appears out of touch with the realities of day-to-day work and seems far more interested in controlling teams than actually listening to what boosts productivity and satisfaction. This mandate feels like a quick fix for visibility rather than a long-term, employee-focused strategy. The disconnect between leadership and the workforce is palpable, with a “bums on seats” mentality taking priority over any real focus on improving employee morale or engagement. It’s disappointing to see Sage ignore the positive strides made during the remote work period, which makes it harder to see the company as a truly progressive or colleague-first workplace.

We appreciate your feedback and have read through your comments. 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. We recently also answered several colleagues' questions about the new 3-day policy. In doing so, we've shed more light on how colleagues will be supported as they adhere to our updated hybrid structure. More information about what we offer can be found here https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Benefits/Sage-United-Kingdom-Benefits-EI_IE1150.0,4_IL.5,19_IN2.htm - Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We’ll continue to work hard to improve how we enable colleagues to thrive.
