Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re pleased to hear you value your colleagues, benefits, and work–life balance, and we appreciate your openness about areas where your experience has changed over time. Our hybrid way of working is designed to support a high‑performance, people‑centred culture. While managers are open to discussing adjustments where there’s a clear case, time spent in the office is intended to strengthen connections, expand networks, and create opportunities for collaboration that can support development and career progression. On career growth, we encourage you to explore the Sage Talent Marketplace, where colleagues can take on short‑term gigs, connect with mentors, and explore different career paths. Career journeys aren’t always linear, and many colleagues have built meaningful “squiggly careers” by gaining experience across teams. For additional support, our Talent Acquisition team is also available for career conversations. If you’d like to share more specific feedback on leadership, we encourage you to do so via our internal Always Listening survey so it can be reviewed appropriately. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your views. They help inform ongoing conversations about how we continue to evolve as an organisation.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your long tenure with Sage. We’re mindful of the point you’ve raised regarding holiday entitlement for part-time colleagues. Fairness and transparency are central to how we operate at Sage, and we recognise how important it is that policies are clearly communicated and consistently applied across different roles and working patterns. As policies can sometimes be complex, we’d encourage you to raise your concerns with your manager, who can support you in exploring this further. We appreciate you highlighting the positive relationships you have with your colleagues and wish you continued success in your career at Sage.

Pros

-you'll work with some of the smartest and most supportive people, my direct team was amazing -I had incredible managers who were supportive and advocated for me and my colleagues -they give good bonuses and fair compensation -people stay here a LONG time, would see work anniversaries for 20+ years (at one point 40 years!!) so seems like there is some longevity there -they provide reasonable benefits and have a 401k match -hybrid work, 3 days in office + 2 at home -40 hours of PAID volunteer time per year which is separate from PTO, wonderful to make a difference in our communities -there is SO much diversity, it was awesome to see, the most out of any corporate job I've ever worked

Cons

-there is def some imbalance between teams, support/service colleagues always miss out being able to attend events/perks in the office, oftentimes there would be catered lunches for some teams(mainly sales teams) and then they would literally offer the "leftovers" for the support/service teams -distributed teams yet they still require employees to go into the office and sit alone when every other team member will be in an office across the country, never made a ton of sense to me -they seem to not be very motivated to mentor colleagues or provide advice on how to explore more career growth, sort of stagnate approach, not sure if they are on a hiring freeze or what -their customer base is mostly aging out for a lot of their small business products, it often felt like working with dinosaur technology and no plans to improve/replace those small business products, it's 2026 and the products feel like 1996 -if you work in support or service be prepared to be answering phones for 8 hours a day nonstop, all of my colleagues experienced or ARE experiencing incredible burnout -some of the more senior members of teams that do not work directly with customers are incredibly condescending, I heard wild inappropriate things at times when I would be asking for simple advice on customer issues, it was disappointing how it would go unaddressed or swept away as "oh thats just how NAME is, they don't mean it", it was not just me but several other team members who had brought these things up consistently to trainers/management
