Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was treated as just another member of my team, which was daunting at first considering most of the rest of the team had PhDs!

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
This placement is very much tailored to the person! I was given a mentor (another member of my team) who taught me the basics of all the skills needed to succeed in my job role! I was then given as much responsibility as I wanted that allowed me to be challenged. The last 6 months of my placement, I was completely independent but always encouraged to ask for help when needed!

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Sage is a brilliant place to work. They actually care about their colleagues! Mental health, work-life balance and community engagement are incredibly important, shown through multiple provided health benefits, 5 volunteering days you are actively encouraged to use, flexible and hybrid working options and the multitude of social events held in office! My team was always there for me, as well as so many other colleagues and processes in place to support to me!

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I loved my placement and now that I’ve returned to university I really appreciate and value all that my time at Sage has taught me. I made some amazing connections, developed so many skills that my CV actually looks a little cramped and learnt some priceless important things about myself.
Thank you Sage!

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Sage (UK) Ltd
When applying to Sage, your personality and values are all that matters. Sage is more than happy to provide the learning needed for you to perform your job role, but they can’t teach you how to be the perfect person to fit in at Sage! They don’t care if you’re switching career functions or graduating, they just care that you’re passionate, positive and eager to make an impact. Let yourself shine!
