      Disappointing Decline in Colleague-Centred Values

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are some solid benefits, including healthcare and pension plans. There are also pockets of career development opportunities if your face fits. Some colleagues genuinely want to make a difference, and a collaborative spirit exists within some departments despite the limitations created by top-down mandates. However, these positives are often overshadowed by restrictive policies that undermine flexibility and morale.

      Cons

      The recently enforced three-day-a-week office mandate feels like a deliberate move towards forced attrition, with little regard for employee needs or work-life balance. Leadership appears out of touch with the realities of day-to-day work and seems far more interested in controlling teams than actually listening to what boosts productivity and satisfaction. This mandate feels like a quick fix for visibility rather than a long-term, employee-focused strategy. The disconnect between leadership and the workforce is palpable, with a “bums on seats” mentality taking priority over any real focus on improving employee morale or engagement. It’s disappointing to see Sage ignore the positive strides made during the remote work period, which makes it harder to see the company as a truly progressive or colleague-first workplace.

      Not a company that cares

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing people to work with

      Cons

      Sage values: Human: untrue, Sage does not care Trust: many employees have lost any trust they may have had recently Bold: yes it is probably bold to expect employees to commute for double the time and travel costs because operations felt like closing a local office while leaving other remote offices open. It’s also bold to give one of the reasons for this closure as wanting to create a great office vibe, while expecting a whole department to suddenly commute to another city. Simplify: the company sure simplified things for themselves by closing certain offices and burdening their employees with extra costs for commuting as well as taking time away from their families
