      Sage is in a weird space right now but we'll get through it - it needs an injection of caring culture! - People Team Sage Employee Review

      Pros

      The flexibility and autonomy within my role is the no.1 thing that makes me want to stay at Sage. The salaries are competitive for role in the North East of England where typically average salaries are less than many other areas in the UK.

      Cons

      There's constant change, which isn't a bad thing as many companies that stand still, are no longer here. Sage is constantly managing multiple changes or restructures at any one time - this can be exhausting for colleagues trying to keep up to speed with everything. Internal comms needs a major improvement for many reasons. The recent announcement on 3 days in the office is a prime example - the wording was horrific, incredibly insensitive and sadly reading the tone - I am 95% sure I could name who wrote and edited it. Rolling back a few years, we had the best colleague engagement when our primary focus was on colleagues, customers and shareholders - maybe Sage should revisit the approach used then and embed more caring colleague focus in our culture now - we had a 4.4+ glassdoor score then! We're humans not robots, show you care and that will help us thrive and want to perform better for you.

      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
