Pros

Operative had many pros: culture was amazing, process was well defined, products/service were all premier, and a ton of room for growth if you are willing to put in the work.

Cons

Sintec sucked all life out of Operative. Sintec does a lot of customized builds which is why they are able to gain so much business. However, they are only hurting themselves and their employees because they are known as the company who will custom build anything and the employees have to come up with solutions for sometimes insane requests. If you are looking to make money then go ahead and do it but if you value your sanity or career growth in any manner I suggest you stay far away from this company. Additionally, Sintec has a very bad reputation within this industry so don't put that stain on your resume.

Pros

Biggest pro are the employees. Everyone from top to bottom are so nice, intelligent, and helpful there. Processes and training (barely any training) leave a lot to be desired, but they are in the process of making things better. Management for the most part is good except for some old guard/new guard tug of wars. Pay was good, medical benefits were good although higher co-pays than I have had previously. Culture has grown since purchase of Operative as they have adapted their culture. Complimentary soft drinks, fruit and cereals. Also cater in bagels every Wednesday.

Cons

No training, no real direction. No 401k match. NY space is very cramped. ***no work/life balance. Employees work late nights and weekends a lot to make unrealistic deadlines and to meet with dev or QA who are in Israel and Romania. Company is transitioning over the methodology they do development, but in the interim it is very confusing and all over the place. Not a lot of understanding of the US market.
