Pros

The salary was within the range I was seeking.

Cons

I was hired as a Full Stack Cloud Engineer. I interviewed for a position that was 90% remote and promised a lot of software engineering work. However once I started, it was made clear to me that I am expected to be in the office every day because the "client" needs to "see me". The only work I was tasked with was re-organizing a shared drive. Additionally, despite one of the clients in the office testing positive for COVID-19, I was still expected to come to the office everyday. My employment there was a joke, and the worst experience of my professional career.

The global COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented, and many companies and government agencies have a wide range of differing responses based on the needs of the organization. As government contractors, our customers are going to have requirements that supersede Synergy’s own polices. Our headquarters office has been closed since March, but some of the government customers we support require on-site presence to carry out the mission-critical tasks that ensure safety for our country. In cases where an employee is at high-risk if they were to contract COVID-19, we have made accommodations to keep them working in other capacities as safely as possible. Candidates seeking employment on our contracted positions should discuss any COVID-related concerns with our recruiters. Regarding the management concerns, Synergy has a high level of confidence in our management team and invests significant time and resources to ensure they are successful and equipped to lead their teams. As with any employee, not every manager is going to be a perfect fit. But when that is obvious, we take steps to either equip, re-assign, or address any concerns. However, our consistent experience with complaints about our project managers has been that perspectives vary widely from those employees who are skilled, team-players, positive, and self-motivated as compared to those who may not be a good fit for the high-performance environment demanded by the contracts we support. Synergy will continue to strive for excellence at every level so that we can deliver the best possible results to our customers.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience at Synergy—we’re sorry to hear that your experience was not pleasant. As Synergy has grown from a smaller to larger business, we’ve experienced growth in learning the best ways to engage with the employees and raise awareness about discrimination. As a result, we have launched an anonymous feedback portal that is always open to employees for concerns and implemented company-wide discrimination awareness training.

Thank you for your feedback on Synergy! We’re glad to hear that you have enjoyed such a positive experience working with the company. We highly value the wellbeing and health of our employees and are eager to supply outstanding benefits for our team. Though we are somewhat dependent on the contracts, we take a deliberate effort to find other positions for every employee when a contract ends. Many of our employees have been transitioned to other contracts or an internal position after their contract ended.
