      Good pay and inclusive values, but poor leadership decisions are eroding morale - Cloud Operations Engineer Sage Employee Review

      2.0

      Pros

      - Competitive salary compared to similar roles in Spain - International environment and the chance to work with global teams -Very inclusive culture — supportive of LGBTQ+ employees, gender equality, and human rights - Some flexibility with working hours

      Cons

      - The company recently enforced a 3-day office policy with no room for discussion, dismissing how it affects employees' personal lives -The CEO publicly dismissed employees’ concerns about hybrid work policies as “irrelevant” — this goes against the values the company claims to promote - Increasingly disconnected from the human values the company claims to uphold - We're expected to go to the office regularly, but there's no support for travel when collaborating with international teams — which feels inconsistent - Communication from leadership has been blunt and lacks empathy - Employees are encouraged to stay silent rather than voice concerns, which is discouraging

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. If you have any concerns regarding hybrid working, please discuss them with your manager and wider team to ensure you receive the necessary support in adhering to the policy. As a people-centred organisation, we believe that flexible working, which allows for ample face-to-face collaboration, is essential for strengthening our culture and helping all our colleagues thrive.

      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
