Pros
Collaboration is real here - I love that I can bounce ideas off engineers, designers, and marketing in the same day. It’s not siloed; everyone genuinely wants to build something better together. There’s room to grow and learn - Sage invests in development, so I’ve had opportunities to stretch beyond my comfort zone—whether it’s leading strategic initiatives or diving into AI-driven solutions. The culture feels human - We talk a lot about flexibility and work-life balance, and it’s not just lip service. I can do great work without sacrificing personal priorities.
Cons
Legacy complexity is real - Sage has a long history, so finding the right team that owns this function can be a needle in a haystack. Global alignment takes effort - syncing across regions and time zones can slow things down. Decision-making can feel layered - With a big organization, there are multiple stakeholders. It’s amazing when alignment happens, but it takes persistence to get there.
