Cons
Working at this company gave me severe anxiety and panic attacks. I typically don’t write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience working here. Below are the reasons why I would not recommend this company. When I joined SC, I was extremely excited and ready to work hard. However, within less than two weeks, I noticed a culture that didn’t promote work-life balance. It’s the norm to stay in the office past 6:30 PM, and senior management frequently messages employees about work matters past 9 PM. No matter how much effort you put in, if senior management doesn’t like you, they make your life miserable. It feels as if they want you to fail. It’s the most toxic workplace I’ve ever encountered. The company is poorly run, with most staff complaining about burnout. Even when you’re sick, you’re expected to work, and taking a sick day results in penalties. Many staff members feel undervalued, underpaid, and overworked. Much of the day is spent on calls discussing matters that don’t advance the company, and you’re expected to multitask, which is highly inefficient. The company hires a large number of freelancers, leading to a lack of cohesive culture and constant turnover. Senior management is unsupportive and quick to place blame when things go wrong, making you feel awful despite your best efforts. Constantly fighting for resources to complete client work is a norm. There is a significant turnover of permanent staff, who are all being replaced by freelancers. Even on annual leave, you receive work-related texts, preventing you from fully switching off. Questioning company practices puts a target on your back, and job security is non-existent. Clients frequently leave due to a lack of resources, but the blame falls on account managers.
