Pros

There are some good people here.

Cons

I would love to stay at Soprano Design, my home for a few years now - with a dwindling group of new people and great OG SD people. But I feel sick and anxious. The culture here is beyond toxic. You are treated as an inferior, expendable and expensive weight in the eyes of the ELT. They want you to work until you vomit & to pay you as little as possible. They setup traps and tricks to avoid paying incentives to the BDMs. They hate you and speak openly in global meetings about how in efficient and worthless you are. Customers are leaving, staff are leaving. The CEO is a monster and proud of it. Stay away. Run away.

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.
