Awful place

Pros

Can’t think of a single one!!

Cons

Where to start! Management don’t care about staff. Board sleep with talentless women and promote them. Good people sacked for not brown nosing. Departing staff are constantly gossiped about in the office and lies told. Friends of the CEO hired and given job roles way above their level. Clients leave in droves.

Thanks for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your time working with us. We of course, would like everyone here to have a positive experience when working with us. Any reduction in headcount is based purely on business requirements and not on individuals and we take any decisions about our people very seriously. We always ask our people to show compassion and understanding towards any leavers and we are sorry you didn’t experience this. Once again, thanks for taking the time to provide us with this feedback, and good luck for the future.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and we are sorry to hear your experience so far at SDL Group isn’t a positive one. We are currently working hard to make improvements to create a more transparent culture. That’s why we have put measures in place to gather quarterly feedback from our people via a third-party survey provider. We are committed to ensuring that all our managers are great leaders. As a result, we have a new robust leadership programme for our management population, that way we can be certain that our leaders are creating a great open culture for all our people. If you would like to share any additional feedback, please email Helen Ellis, Group Director of People - helen.ellis@sdlgroup.co.uk Thanks again, SDL Group
