SSDM Reviews

Facts: This is a small firm of roughly 20 people. I wasn't even there a year, and I was the 9th termination and/or quit. One person even left twice not even being there a year the 2nd time. The data I saw going back to 2018 showed 75 users deleted, meaning they have roughly a 100% turnover rate each year. But a particular chatty owner will blow sunshine about how it would be a travesty if anyone wanted to leave, and will do anything to keep people motivated / happy. Only one person has been there 5 years, two others have been there 4 years (not the owners) - the rest are all under a year. There was a 3rd partner who had been there as long as the owners when I started and they decided to leave under a false pretense - telling everyone it was for "reasons" but it turns out they left to go work some where else. You don't really leave that kind of position unless it's so messed up it's hopeless (they downgraded their title/position at their new place). If you already have 3+ years of career experience, this place is NOT for you, and you would be well advised to listen to the other comments here to avoid it under all scenarios except the following: 1) This is your first real job and you need the experience - keep fielding new offers after 3-6 months, and leave at your first chance. 2) You're desperate for a paycheck, and have no other options. 3) You enjoy nepotism because the "top 3" (not owners) are committed to only hiring their closest personal friends regardless of that person's relevancy or experience. The only actual "pro" I would say is they paid you on time, the majority of coworkers in the trenches like you were incredibly friendly, understood work/life balance fairly well and were not big expletives for demanding clock watching, running an occasional life errand, or emailing / texting off hours except for very rarely - and if it was - it was to reprimand you about said clients.
