Pros

Synoptek is a very entrepreneurial firm that allows a great deal of flexibility and ability to grow. There is an ability to grow and learn new technologies but you do have to be driven. This isn't the army who will guide your every step. The vision the company has is spot on for the future, and a there is a great deal of innovation to move forward.

Cons

Due to acquisitions there has been struggle with integration and cultures. Leadership could provide better oversight and actual leadership. Heroic efforts are not sustainable at any level. Sometimes it is hard to wait for change to occur, and it seems it often takes far too long for a company our size. It is often strange to be bigger than a startup and smaller than a fortune 500, where something happen fast and others take forever.

Pros

- Modern thinking in terms of software and hardware, they are not afraid to adopt new software or try new things - Great training incentives in which every employee has the opportunity to attend external training classes, or get paid bonuses for obtaining IT certifications - Lots of opportunity for advancement within the company - Able to work from home when needed

Cons

- Lack of documentation about our clients and our processes - Lack of communication between co-workers and management - Lack of standardization between different company sites, every site seems to do things their own way, has their own tools, etc. - Lack of internal training, they might as well not even have any at the quality they provided - Lack of motivation towards... anything

Pros

Synoptek is a great place to work. The company has been in rapid growth mode and promoting like crazy within. They're invested in the employees and their success through Travel and Trains and their training and development program. With any company that goes through the growth that Synoptek has been through in the last three years' there are bound to people unhappy with changes in the organization and underperformers are let go. Synoptek recognizes the employees that are invested in the companies success and have put together programs and training to get everyone to the next level.

Cons

Lack of management in areas. There are may managers that work in remote locations and/or managers that work from home too much.
