Pros

Strong job security for most roles (occasionally positions do become redundant but not very often) Immediate team/colleagues are always friendly and helpful.

Cons

Remote working took off the table by middle management despite upper management saying there would be 'flexibility' "Older" management do not value employee wishes to work from home full time, they say they do at the company level but then the teams decide. Legacy software is terrible to work with and no end in sight for teams responsible for maintaining it, would much rather be working on the 'cool' new stuff.

Thank you for your review; we appreciate your feedback. Since 2020 our colleagues have shown that they are adaptable, resilient, and have continued to thrive while working away from the office. However, we know that our colleagues have missed being able to come together as a team. Having listened to colleagues' feedback, we enter our next chapter of work with a framework for how, where, and when we work, which we have termed Flexible Human Work. Flexible Human Work is driven by team agreements that will evolve as we experiment, learn and adapt our ways of working together. Our vision is to unlock all forms of flexibility (mode, location, and time). Under the Flexible Human Work approach, most colleagues will be classified as Flex workers (meaning their role can be fulfilled between a Sage hub and home office with between 1-5 days spent at a Sage hub as agreed with their line manager). Team agreements will be set at the Executive Team level, and will be based on a deep understanding of the team's work, the collaboration needs, and colleagues' preferences while also considering inclusion and fairness. If you have specific concerns, please flag these to your manager or visit the Flexible Human Work hub where additional resources and contacts can be found.

Pros

They try to look cool and post all videos of CEO and CPO but trust me inside they are full of politics

Cons

if you are not close to the manager you will never get progression. most of the internal jobs are posted after discussing with the potential employee. they don't bother to tell others about the new job . i wiated for months and then saw my teammate getting a new job title without any information. disgusting.

Thank you for your review; we appreciate your feedback and take your points seriously. Colleague career development is a top priority at Sage, and a subject that we regularly receive feedback on in our regular employee satisfaction surveys. Fairness and transparency are core values at Sage and sit at the heart of our recruitment processes. We are working hard to provide even better visibility and accessibility to all colleague development opportunities (securing a new role, accessing personal development training, or even taking up new project opportunities). We always strive to be better, and your feedback helps us understand where to focus our efforts.
