Pros

1. You get to drive around all day. So if you like sitting in traffic then maybe this is your place.

Cons

1. Company lies to employees and clients. Tells them it will take 30 minutes instead of 90 for you to drive there. Then client yells at you. 2. No help from anybody. If you ask for answers they get mad or treat you like an idiot. 3. At other MSP you drive maybe 100 miles a week. Here you go 100's of miles each day. In major metro area. Good luck having time to fix anything. 4. Zero communication or feedback. Most passive aggressive & useless managers you ever saw. If you screw up they glare at you or even laugh like they are 10 years old. 5. Managers are a clique who can do no wrong. The new person is always the stupid one and they throw you under the bus for everything. 6. No training or growth. Everyone wants to leave this place. Your client will hate you and you will only learn by working there until you can not take it anymore. 7. Synoptek does not care about its employees or clients or anybody!!! They lie so that they lose customers and lose good people but they don't care because they will just find new ones. I would not recommend them to a person who killed my dog!

Pros

Still primarily remote with limited travel for clients

Cons

Primary an offshore model where they throw warm bodies at projects with little to show for it. For the past 8 years the company has missed targets set by management and thus no bonuses. Lack of transparency. Poor benefits No raises

While we encourage constructive criticism, we find the statements in this review to be inaccurate and misleading. Synoptek has a strong history of delivering value to our clients and achieving financial stability. Contrary to the claim regarding bonuses, we have paid bonuses over the years based on company performance and individual contributions. Our financial goals are realistic and grounded in strategic planning, ensuring sustainable growth and success. We categorically reject the assertion about our organizational model. Synoptek operates with a well-established and globally recognized structure that emphasizes quality, not quantity. Our approach is designed to deliver measurable outcomes for our clients through expertise, innovation, and collaboration. Furthermore, our compensation and benefits policies are competitive within the industry, and we are proud to support our employees with opportunities for growth, professional development, and work-life balance. Additionally, we are a pay for performance company and, as such, our annual merit cycle - which we run every year - rewards our employees with merit increases based on individual performance and contributions. We value open dialogue, and if there are any genuine concerns, we encourage direct communication through appropriate channels to help alleviate sharing inaccurate information.

Pros

Synoptek has some very capable consultants working for them I would work along side them again

Cons

Synoptek professes to care about employees but my experience with leadership and HR did not reflect the "values" they profess to exemplify.
