Pros

- General prons provided by software companies.

Cons

- The company's decision to offer less appraisal than other software companies is disappointing and demotivating. It shows a lack of recognition for the hard work and contributions of its employees, making them feel undervalued and underappreciated. - The less than industry-standard appraisal raises questions about the company's commitment to employee retention and satisfaction. By not rewarding employees competitively, the company risks losing its top talent to competitors who offer better compensation packages. - It's disheartening to see the company use a lack of projects in the pipeline as an excuse for providing less appraisal. Employees should not be penalized for factors beyond their control, and this rationale shows a lack of accountability from the management. - The company's insistence on a 3-day office attendance policy feels outdated and inflexible. In today's technological era, remote work has proven to be productive and beneficial, yet the company is failing to adapt to modern work practices. - The company's leave policy is outdated and far below industry standards. Employees are given very limited earned leaves and there are no sick leaves. The short leaves are useless and do not carry forward. - The festival holidays are very less as compared to other IT companies where they give Chrismas holidays and other holidays where their clients are on vacation. - I would like to express my concern regarding the practice of comparing team members during review meetings. While I understand that performance evaluations are essential for continuous improvement, I believe comparing individuals can be discouraging and counterproductive. Each team member brings unique skills and strengths to the table, and comparing them may not accurately reflect their individual contributions. - In the same vein, when it comes to evaluating managers, I believe it's crucial to consider their leadership style, the growth of their team, and their ability to foster a positive work culture. We should avoid comparing managers with one another, as this may lead to unnecessary tension and undermine the spirit of unity and cooperation.

Pros

Flexible. Unlimited PTO if you think that is a pro. Great sales team and support

Cons

Management. Things have gone down hill fast since the new owners took over at the beginning of the year. We are turning into a mini Rackspace with all their old employees. Kind of lost the soul of Synoptek. No clear direction other than laying off people to cut cost. Don’t criticize HR or they will come after you.
