      Toxic Work Environment, CEO That Micro-Manages

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the employees are talented and are nice people.

      Cons

      The CEO of the company is a micro-manager who also creates a toxic work environment. He is very disrespectful to employees and he expects employees to always be available no matter the time of day. Further meetings are very long and have no focus. The company has no direction and employee morale is very poor.

      Thank you for leaving a review on your experience at Synergy. As you are a current employee, we would highly encourage that you discuss your concerns with Human Resources and/or submit instances of toxicity through our anonymous feedback portal supplied to all Synergy employees. We do not in any way wish to promote toxic behavior and want to hear from our employees if they are uncomfortable. Our CEO and the leadership team are hands-on and customer focused. They often work directly with the delivery team in the trenches. We support several critical government agencies and serve important missions for the country, and we take a lot of pride in delivering top notch support to those customers. Sometimes this line of business calls for us to work long hours and weekends, but this is more of an exception than the norm. 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. Likewise, 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. That doesn’t mean your experience isn’t real or that it shouldn’t be addressed, but just that it doesn’t appear to be the norm. Again, we highly encourage the use of our anonymous feedback portal or a conversation with HR to ensure that you and your teammates are heard. 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. Remember that you hold the power to be the positive influence that may encourage positive conversations and spark morale.

      Best Company I have Ever Worked for!

      Pros

      I have worked at Synergy for almost four years. I have seen them grow from 50 employees to better than 350. A lot has changed in that period. One thing, however, has not changed, and that is the pure passion of the senior executives for the success of the company. The senior executives are dedicated, available, empathic, and above all else great leaders. I have had the privilege of growing and moving about through different roles and contracts within the company, which has given me the unique opportunity to work closely with all the senior executives on one point or another. I can tell you that they are truly genuine people who care about their employees. Additionally, each of the senior executives support your success, and work individually with you to get your career to the next level. They fully subscribe to the theory of Richard Branson – Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough, so they do not want to. Since I have been with Synergy, they have pushed me to finish my degree, and I did. Now, they want me to define my next steps, whatever they may be. While at Synergy, I have had the opportunity to work on far more different areas than my original position called for; essentially my resume has doubled in size and skillsets. Meaning, I was given opportunities to move up and laterally as I desired and felt confident. I never felt pressured to take on something I was not confident I could handle. Additionally, the senior executives understood when mistakes happened, because they knew you were growing and expanding your horizons. I have worked for companies who pigeonholed you into one position, and I can tell you that gets old quick. Some people may like repetition and monotony, but that is not the culture at Synergy. Synergy gives you opportunities to move and grow. Do not let any other reviews change your mind. Synergy and its leadership are a great company and a winning team. Every company has employees that for one reason or another just do not fit. Remember, great teams did not start that way; they are built. Pros: • Salary is highly competitive • Benefits are great, and the company seeks to add value frequently • Educational Budget for your personal growth • Great leadership • Bright future – Synergy is growing and is hungry to do so • Great employees • Opportunity for personal growth

      Cons

      • None – Synergy is literally the best company I have worked for to date.
