Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to know that you felt Sage was a good start to your career but also, we are sorry you did not have a more fulfilling experience. We have enforced team agreements all across the business and these bring to life our hybrid working framework by requiring our colleagues to go into the office 2-3 days a week for two reasons, collaboration and the promotion of their social wellbeing. If our paths are to cross again, we hope that you will find a greater difference in the spirit of colleague collaboration here. Also, for mentorship and other personal development needs, we now have our Talent Marketplace in full gear giving colleagues the support they need to thrive. Once again, thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We wish you all the best in the next chapter of your career!

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

Different people are motivated by different things at work, and it’s helpful to hear honest perspectives on how our structure, processes, and priorities can impact day‑to‑day experience and engagement. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing conversations as we continue to evolve our ways of working, use technology more meaningfully, and improve the products and experiences we create for our customers.
