Pros

There are simply no “pros” - there is a ton of fake PR about how this is a “cloud” company. Reality is it is not. As others have commented, they are forcing old customers to “upgrade” to the cloud or they cannot access their business data. And then they “count” this as a new subscriber. Just ask anyone who works in sales/customer support to verify this.

Kontras

COMPANY BONUS POLICIES This has not been accurately described elsewhere...the company does not pay employee bonuses unless the company hits its (arbitrary) annual performance metrics. These metrics are created in way that is unclear to employees and does not reflect on their actual job performance. This is a new policy they instituted recently and it’s hard to view it any way other than not giving bonuses that were promised to employees. If you do an excellent job, you still don’t get a bonus because the company did not hit an arbitrary (aka unrealistic) “growth” target! Oh and it gets worse...the metrics used are different from the ones that they discuss in public earnings announcements. So they tell the financial markets how great the company is performing when speaking outside the company. But internally the message is that “we did not meet our targets so no bonus will be paid out.” as you can imagine, employees are beyond distraught as they have worked hard all year and done well. It’s unethical for the company to proclaim how great they are doing and then withhold bonus from their employees saying the company didn’t do that well.

Thanks for your feedback. At Sage we have a philosophy of ‘pay for performance’ and this year more than 90% of our bonus eligible colleagues across 23 countries will receive a payment to recognise their contribution.

Pros

Working at Sage these past 4 years has been both rewarding and energizing. I’ve really valued the opportunity to collaborate with talented teams across the business while helping evolve our Developer Content organization into a broader developer experience and AI-enabled function. One of the most meaningful parts of the experience has been seeing how open people are to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It’s been exciting to contribute to initiatives that improve both internal workflows and the experience for our developer community. I’m grateful for the relationships, growth opportunities, and trust I’ve been given throughout the year, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

With so much innovation and transformation happening across the company, priorities can evolve quickly — but it also creates exciting opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute to meaningful change.

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

Kontras

-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
