Despite these positives, my experience was overshadowed by a pervasive culture in the People Operations department that seemed incongruent with SADA's stated values. There was a noticeable trend of extreme micromanagement and a work environment that could be described as toxic. This management style created unnecessary stress and impacted team morale and mental health.
Further, I observed practices within the department that raised ethical concerns. While not illegal, these practices, such as bending rules or manipulating processes to pass audits, were questionable and seemed to compromise the company's integrity.
Many colleagues shared similar observations and concerns, which ultimately influenced my decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.
