      Worst Leadership and No growth - Anonymous Employee Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      - Compensation is around industry average. - Leave policy looks good on paper, but it entirely depends on your manager. Some employees are even questioned for taking a single sick day and told they should “discuss it before falling sick.”

      Cons

      - Promotions are practically nonexistent. - The work culture is becoming increasingly toxic every quarter. - Senior leadership shows minimal respect or consideration for employees in India. There’s clear inequality in how Indian teams are treated compared to those in the Dublin office. - One of the product CTOs behaves like an unquestionable ruler, enforcing decisions based purely on personal whims. - Leadership excels at big speeches but has zero execution strategy. They announce initiatives with no plan, and then dump the burden on lower-level employees without clarity or vision. - The internal employee survey is nothing but a PR tool — issues raised are ignored, and results are spun to look positive.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
