Pros

Good salaries and benefits package. Beautiful offices around the world. A dedicated team who will work themselves into the ground.

Cons

The management only care about profit with little interest in their employees well being. Heavy workloads and an expectation to work during weekends and annual leave.

Thank you for your review. It's great to hear the salaries and our whole benefits package works well for you. Yes, you're right, we have amazing offices in more than 20 countries across the globe and our people are awesome. I am not sure how you know the featured review is from our CEO's PA as all reviews are anonymous. The UK featured review says he/she is a colleague in Newcastle, whereas Stephen's PA works in London, so I would say it's not from his PA. At Sage we recognise our people are amazing; we couldn't produce the awesome products without them, we could not sell the software without our fantastic sales crew and couldn't support them without the incredible people who are there all the time to ensure our business builders have total and utter dedication from our colleagues. At Sage we can’t promise an easy ride but it’ll be a rewarding one and leaving your comfort zone will help you grow in belief and as a person. From our new mentoring programme, to Sage live TV, to Linda.com development portal, plus the ShareSave scheme being rolled out globally and lots of other exciting events to be announced soon, there's never been a better time to join Sage.

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
