Pros

Job offer Decent pay depending on who you are

Cons

Upper management sucks really. The person in charge has a very weird attitude and can be very hot and cold... extremely phony behind closed doors and sometimes in your face. Forever flustered. There are people in positions that do not deserve them, but because you are friends with the higher-ups, you can basically steal company time everyday. You can only work from home depending on who you are which defeats the purpose of a technology company. For whatever reason sitting there appearing you are doing work is better than actually working from home. Limited growth opportunities.

Thank you for leaving a review on your experience with Synergy. We follow a consistent practice of rewarding outstanding and exemplary employees based upon their efforts and demonstration of Synergy’s core values (leadership, excellence, communication, and inclusion). Opportunities for growth are available to employees that show themselves ready to lead and take on new challenges. If you believe that someone is not demonstrating these core values, we encourage you to send a note through our Anonymous Feedback Portal so that we can look into it. When it comes to working from home, we in fact highly encourage every employee, regardless of who you are, to telecommute for safety and health during this pandemic if the option is available to us and to our clients. Some of our government customers were slow to adopt telecommuting abilities, and at that time determinations were made based on each person’s risk factors and the ability to productively connect to the customer’s systems. However, at this point almost everyone is working from home. We always encourage employees to use our Anonymous Feedback Portal or contact HR should they have concerns or problems within the workplace, but feedback from the majority of the company indicates positive morale and excitement about the projects we’re supporting as well as enjoyment in working with their teammates. We are aware of many positive-thinking, motivated, and encouraging employees and teams within Synergy. Employee morale doesn’t only come from the leadership, but also from within the team. People stay because they find satisfaction in the quality work they do and because Synergy recognizes, appreciates, and awards their excellent work.

Pros

Good benefits and competitive salary

Cons

Like other one star reviews, the problem starts with the management. They have grown from 50 to 350 but they operate like a 5 people company. They bring you in for your expertise, promise a different role during the interview but you end up with a much less desired position that is constantly micromanaged. The top management gets involved in everything and wants to make every decision regardless of what feedback the team or employees give them. There is no career here and its a constant revolving door. I am surprised how they still manage to survive. If you are planning to join, save your energy and go work somewhere else.

Thank you for your review of your experience at Synergy—we’re sorry to hear it was not pleasant for you. Our management has no intention to micromanage, as we understand that it is counterproductive. Synergy rewards employees with above-market compensation and manages them by providing context and setting goals and objectives. However, in some cases, a greater degree of management may be necessary so that an employee can successfully achieve their goals and objectives. Employees who require that level of assistance may feel micromanaged, but this type of management is not the norm for the vast majority of our staff who consistently meet or exceed their performance goals and objectives.
