Pros

It's a paycheck, though lower than what I'm used to.

Cons

Absolutely no communication for weeks during a significant contract transition, which caused complete and total chaos/panic. Almost seems like that was the intent. I've never seen a contract transition like this, and I never hope to again. The management is blissfully unaware of how much of anything works, and doesn't seem to care either. "Interview" process was insulting, and interviewers were rude. People actually cried leaving the "interview" (which was only 5 minutes long). They handled a major contract transition so poorly, that people who were laid off will never come back, even if offered more money. People who weren't laid off are actively looking for another job. Allowing people with years of experience, education, and demonstrated histories of promotions/accolades to walk out the door is 100% mismanagement or 100% ignorance.

Synergy BIS Response

We apologize that you had an unpleasant experience, and we recognize that the transition from the incumbent company to our company as the prime contractor was stressful for all parties involved. Due to the nature and timing of contract award, we had a very short time to prepare. Though we tried our best to provide the deserved attention to every candidate, sometimes we were pressed for time, which might have made us appear impolite, and this was never our intention. As you are a current employee, you must have met the persons who conducted the interviews while working with Synergy. If you still think they have been impolite or disrespectful, we strongly suggest that you use the anonymous suggestion box in your work location to express your concern. Employee satisfaction is one of the most important principles of our company, as we believe that only happy employees can make our customers happy. We take employee satisfaction very seriously and realize that taking a pay cut is extremely difficult for anyone. During the transition, most of our employees got their current salary or a higher pay. We have looked at the salaries again last quarter and made some adjustments. As a general practice, we look at everyone’s compensation every quarter and adjust whenever we can. If you still have a lower than before compensation, please approach your manager if you have concerns and we guarantee to take that into serious consideration.

Synergy feels like home

Pros

I currently work at Synergy full time. I truly love my job. The work is engaging, and the people in my office are incredibly kind, helpful, and hardworking. There is an environment of employee appreciation, and I find that it really motivates me. Fun events. Soda and snacks for employees. Employee recognition and awards. Management works to mold roles around people. I do things outside the normal scope of my position, because my supervisor/managers know my interests and seem really dedicated to helping me grow. I work in the same office as our CEO, and working for him and the rest of our senior management team is a pleasure. They lead by example (Sam is often the first one and last one out) and, from what I can tell, they are really good, sincere people. If you’ve got the right attitude – a good work ethic, energy, enthusiasm, and a bit of humor – you’ll love it here.

Cons

It can get a bit hectic at times. I like keeping busy, but it's not a good fit for those looking to coast along.

Cons

No cons to speak of at the moment. The company is growing and is experiencing the normal process developments which occur as a company grows.
