Outsourcing beware!

Pros

Cert reimbursement and bonus Culture seems good for those selected to stay Severance was decent

Cons

50/50 chance you'll be laid off before the transition is complete if part of large acquisition with no notice. Company values are a joke.

Favoritism, toxic culture, and constant layoffs

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

fully remote work is great, and there are some truly amazing, talented people who work there—but unfortunately, they won’t last long in such a toxic and unsupportive environment

Cons

I wish I’d taken the reviews seriously before joining. In my experience, Synoptek fosters a toxic culture marked by favoritism, where policies are applied inconsistently to favor certain individuals. Employees, including myself, are underpaid, overworked, and constantly on edge due to frequent and unpredictable layoffs. HR’s focus seems to be on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. When I raised concerns, I felt dismissed and labeled as a problem, which made it impossible to feel safe. I was told by others I should have never trusted HR and feel that that is the sentiment for many. Overall, the environment feels demoralizing and unsustainable.

Lost its Soul

Pros

Used to have good people to work with

Cons

Company lost its soul. Executive turn over especially in HR made company much worse. Claims to value employees but actions say otherwise.
