Pros
People. SD is full of people who will care about you and seek to aid your development.
Expertise. SD is the premier consulting firm in surgical services and I honestly believe no consulting firm can have the same impact on an OR, anesthesia group, or ASC as SD.
Potential. The company is growing rapidly and has potential for significant growth. Anyone who wants to be part of building something great would enjoy working at SD.
Cons
Transition. The company did a management buy out recently (purchased back SD from its parent company, Mednax) and when I left, the company was still experiencing some of the challenges that come with that type of shift.
Small. While small companies are right for some people, it wasn't what I was looking for at this stage of my career.
