Pros

I have been on the company long enough to observe things, recognise changes and influences. We have a large number of employees that are loyal and do a fantastic job in making Soprano be a successful business. There is a lot to be proud about in terms of what we do, the customers we serve and the global impact such a small Australia business has. Yes global with customers spanning all over Australia and New Zealand, South East Asia, Europe and UK, and the Americas (North and South). Yes global impact with customers globally dependant on reliable and functioning software we produce. Very proud to be part of such team and very few can claim such status. I have seen many come and few leave, of which very few are regrettable. The remaining none regrettable are in many cases so toxic and seem to jump around looking for someone else to spend money on their bad ideas. In many cases they just complain and demand for others to do their work, and when managed they complsin about being micromanage! Then they become very vocal and write repeated vindictive reviews distorting facts. Maybe time you get some counciling :-) So if you want to be part of a successful team, successful product snd successful global company then you should seriously consider joining Soprano.

Cons

Customers can be very demanding and have a lot of expectations.

Pros

Great people that need to leave when they can !

Cons

Take the positive reviews with caution, many were encouraged internally and don’t reflect reality. Soprano Design operates under a culture of fear. Some members of the executive team lead through intimidation rather than inspiration. Disrespect, dismissive behaviour, and public humiliation have become part of daily life. Decisions are made impulsively, priorities shift constantly, and employees are left to deal with the fallout. The environment is toxic: pressure is constant, collaboration is discouraged, and taking responsibility is rare. When things go wrong, blame is pushed down the chain. Morale is low, turnover is high, and burnout is seen as normal. Also words like bullying, narcissistic, egotism, controlling, know it all, disrespect, selfish, come to mind. There are great people in this company. Smart, motivated, and kind, but they are trapped in a system that rewards control, not competence. Many eventually leave, not because they can’t handle the work, but because they can’t tolerate the culture. Others are fired because they stood up for honesty and respect. If you value professionalism, respect, or psychological safety, look elsewhere.
