Work Away

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

I was able to use the Work Away policy to support a personal requirement, and once again the flexibility of working at Sage really stood out. The understanding and support from my line management made a real difference and ensured everything worked smoothly for both me and the business. Thank you, Sage, for continuing to foster a culture built on trust, flexibility and genuine support.

Cons

The Work away policy is a complete win for employees and Company

Fine pay and dull work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

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
