Pros
The pros of working at SDE were very obvious in the beginning. They train their employees thoroughly, and give you the tools you need to do your job properly regardless of previous work experience.
Cons
The CEO controls every aspect of the company and takes a very personal approach to managing employees. While this sounds nice in theory, the reality is terrible. He takes every employee's mistakes and triumphs very personally, and if you have a change of situation in your personal life, he demands to know every detail. If this change affects your ability to stay with the company, you are now labeled as a persona non grata. The company no longer hears your ideas, and finds reasons to fault you in every aspect of your work. There is no warning for being written up, there is no longer any transparency about your performance, and you are treated as though you personally betrayed management. On top of this, don't make nearly enough to justify that kind of demand for transparency. The starting pay is $13/hour, which one could easily at a fast food restaurant.
