Pros

Nice co-workers make the environment somewhat bearable.

Cons

The leaders of SDM are tyrants, and there's no sugar-coating that. They are some of the worst people I've ever worked for. They're verbally abusive and disrespectful. They often overstep they boundaries and treat employees like machine that hey can force to work as long as they want. Employees here are treated horribly, and it'd obvious, given the relatively high employee turnover rate in this company. it's best to avoid SDM.

Pros

There is almost always an open position, though this is only because so many people leave

Cons

- Managers are extremely hostile and unpredictable - Outbursts happen over the smallest mistakes - The constant aggression creates a work environment full of fear and anxiety - Employees feel drained and on edge every day - The hostility makes it impossible to focus or feel safe to work I could not continue in a place where fear and tension were the norm. Leaving was the only way to protect my sanity.

Pros

Maybe a few kind coworkers who made it bearable.

Cons

I still can’t believe how crazy that place was. My manager acted like some kind of god who expected everyone to worship him, and if you didn’t, you were immediately on his bad side. The environment was so hostile that even normal conversations felt like walking on eggshells. People were constantly pretending to be happy just to survive another day. Every promise leadership made fell apart before it even started, and there was absolutely no work-life balance. I’d go home exhausted, frustrated, and questioning why I stayed as long as I did.
