      Pros

      Only pro to taking a job here would be the three month gaurantee for commissions and the high salary they will offer. If you're desperate and need employment, this is the place to ride the train to the bottom. Make sure you have an exit strategy quick, as you'll likely be put on performance plan immediately after.

      Cons

      Huge mismanagement, mistakes and disconnects from the top. Word spread fast about large layoffs of key positions where ramp up times are 8-12 months to be effective around Sage while executives spout how we are "growing". Morale hit a new low yesterday for employees that weren't walked and are still remaining. Seriously don't work here. I've regularly seen employees turn in year after year of high performance and then several of them were let go yesterday simply because they made too much. No promotion from within and a terrible bell curve review system. I personally know several Sales people who received a "Meets Expectations" after being one of the few to turn in 110% above quota numbers. Does that sound like a meets expectations to you? Our competitors give out trophies and gifts for that. If you have any talent, looks elsewhere or you'll simply be frustrated until you leave. If you don't believe me, simply ask any front line Sage colleague off the record. Hit us up on LinkedIn and do your research.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.

      Pros

      -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

      Cons

      -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
