      Pros

      The only positive is the pay, which is very competitive for a SaaS company.

      Cons

      An entire company built of facade and presenteeism. Sage is focused on showcasing itself as a good place to work over actually providing a supportive, innovative working environment. To be a protected characteristic in this organisation is to be showcased for events and occasions and ‘celebrated’, then marginalised the rest of the time. The hierarchy and managerial styles are toxic and often bullying.

      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.
