      Pros

      Some nice people pass through the company. Decent products.

      Cons

      Dysfunctional working environment creates high turnover. Low employee morale. No training. Secretive work environment. Colleagues quit and senior management does not inform staff. Hiring occurs in a vacuum. Our office is cut off from communicating with the parent company SDL under the guise of security. Staff believe it is to keep corporate SDL in the dark about extreme dysfunction, unprofessional leadership and shenanigans. Staff have no access to SDL training resources or mentoring and mentoring. Staff work in constant fear of retaliation from senior management for perceived slights or senior management being in a crappy mood and needing a dog to kick.

      Thank you for your comment. We are committed to creating an exceptional work place environment and continue to devote the time and resources to make this happen. There are certain US Government laws that govern our ability to communicate with our parent company. I am sorry if this was not fully communicated and there was a lack of training when you were hired. We continue to work exceptionally hard and invested resources to create infrastructure in our “start-up” environment with the hopes of making our environment the very best it can be. We are not perfect but we try to improve every day.

      CEO is a very smart individual, but unfortunately is emotionally stunted and poisons the work environment atmosphere with hostility and bullying.

      We encourage our employees to provide constructive feedback on their work experiences, so that we can constantly improve our workplace environment. Feedback should not include malicious personal attacks that are offensive, false, defamatory and libelous. A fast-paced technology start up environment is not for everybody, and different people interpret leadership styles in different ways. We are disappointed to hear our environment was not right for you and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. We strive to create an exceptional workplace environment that focuses on initiative, innovation, mission accomplishment and personal responsibility.
