      Pros

      The team there is really good. you can work with a young dynamic team!

      Cons

      Everything! From the internal systems to payroll to management and leadership, this company is a mess... I do not know how they keep working for this long with the level of chaos that exists at all levels. If you want to go back to the 80s in terms of management this is the place for you :)

      Thanks for your review. Sorry to hear you have had a few issues - we at Sage, understand how important it is for colleagues to be happy and engaged. We recognised there were some issues in Dublin so we introduced an employee engagement team, that have now called themselves ‘Kaizen’. These were people voted for by the CBC employees. Kaizen are working with the HR and leadership team, as the voice of the people to help to drive better engagement. This, alongside the brand new leadership programme where all 2000+ people leaders at Sage will follow a module based programme to ensure our leaders are the best people leaders. Thanks again for your feedback and hope you'll see improvements soon.

      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.
