      Pros

      The colleagues themselves are generally professional and supportive.

      Cons

      There are very limited opportunities for internal promotion. Career progression is unclear, and long-term growth within the company feels restricted. In addition, there have been continuous cutbacks in the tools and resources we use daily, which directly impacts productivity and makes it harder to perform our work effectively. Another major downside is the rigid return-to-office policy. Employees are now required to attend the office three days a week, with the explicit warning that failure to accept these new terms could result in a five-day office requirement. This approach feels more like pressure than collaboration and negatively affects morale and work-life balance.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re disappointed that your experience hasn't been satisfactory and truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight areas where we can improve. Career development and providing the right tools for success remain key priorities for us. We offer access to mentorship, gig projects across different functions, and a range of upskilling resources through Sage Academy, LinkedIn Learning and more to support colleague growth. We encourage you to speak with your manager about your career ambitions and work together on a development plan that they can support. You can also reach out to our Talent Acquisition team for guidance on roles that may be a good fit for you in the future. If you have specific suggestions for further improvements, please share them via our internal Always Listening survey. On hybrid working, we believe in-person collaboration is vital for strengthening our high-performance, people-centric culture. These office days help teams build stronger relationships and foster collaboration, which is key to achieving our business objectives at pace for the benefit of everyone—our customers, colleagues and partners. If you have ongoing concerns, please discuss them with your manager, who can explore reasonable adjustments based on your personal circumstances. Thank you again for your honesty and for helping us make Sage a better place to work.

      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.

      Cons

      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

      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
