High Turnover and a Toxic Underbelly

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Impressive portfolio of high-profile projects and the promise of working on innovative, multidisciplinary designs.

Cons

Toxic work culture at the higher management and principal level. Quick to shift blame while throwing others under the bus for directions they themselves have given. SCDA breeds paranoia and stifles open feedback and attracts talent via monetary compensation. Easy to end up as the scapegoat for systemic issues. Safe yourself the trouble of applying.

Cons

At SCDA, we're on the right track with our efficient work and learning culture. Yet, there's room to grow. Enhancing our review process will give clearer guidance and feedback to our team. Revisiting our compensation and benefits will further acknowledge their efforts. These steps will strengthen our position as a great place to work.
