      Pros

      Bonus scheme (although never fully achievable due to ridiculous targets) Good paternity pay and length 5 volunteering days a year Salary is fairly competitive but on the slightly lower side Career progression is good if you can showcase good performance but has been limited in the last year due to cost cutting.

      Cons

      Top level management used to care and listen to employees and we felt valued, looked after and listened too. However over the last 2 years this has all changed (coincidentally with some change in the c suite team). The company has just had poor decision after another which staff have been vocal against with a stance of just take it or quit, It has destroyed morale and made overall productivity in the company lower (dont have metrics but would put money on it im that sure). The final straw that broke the camels back was the recent change from 2 days a week with flexibility in office to 3 days a week no flexibility. After Sage globally have cut desks in offices, parking etc these changes are pushing people into over crowded offices with no parking left and people don't understand why its being done. No one asked for this and when they announced it they said "they had listened to feedback about office days". Yet when people actually gave feedback after the announcement they refused to listen to any of it.

      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.
