      Pros

      The people. Talent Acquisition does a great job in recruiting talented, innovative and great people. The Midtown Office is nice.

      Cons

      The powers that be believe that people are indispensable. They have a forced distribution rating system and get rid of people who are doing the work of multiple people. Bonuses have not been paid in over two years. Take a look at the company’s numbers, bonuses won’t be paid out again this year. Colleagues are getting terminated left and right, so that the company can cut costs, instead of doing the right thing and having real layoffs...but then that would mean that they would have to pay severances, and they don’t want to do that. And that would also be admitting that they aren’t doing as well, as they want to appear. Save yourself the heartache and just avoid this place.

      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
