Pros

FYI Synology America is aware of this site and hold witch hunts when "current" employees post a negative review which recently have somehow been taken down afterwards, though this only seems to apply to Sales Department related reviews. Please disregard the Synology plant 5/5 star review recently posted--it is laughable that they would go through such measures to post that. If you neither care about making a career or making your workplace better (which yes, includes being critical) then this may be the place for you. If you keep your head down, don't ruffle any feathers, don't speak out when something wrong happens and generally nod your head in defense of the higher ups then you will be recognized as "mature" and management material regardless if you are completely worthless at your job or not. The ENTIRE Synology America management has been built around this principle once the people who knew what they were doing left.

Cons

Synology Inc may be a prestigious, respectable company in the tech world, however the US subsidiary is stuck in startup mode. No one actually knows what they are doing. There are no real guidelines or standard procedures. The culture is incredibly toxic and presenting new ideas to make things more efficient are absurdly resisted by management who, by the way, base their actions on "feeling" rather than statistical fact or metric, even when presented to their face. This applies to all faucets of management operation, most glaringly in EVALUATION which sometimes results in termination. For years it has repeated this pattern: 1. hire talented, inexperienced workers 2. horrendous management drives them away once they realize their skills are being wasted through complete misuse, underpay, and ignorance 3. the jaded few who stay because they're content with being stuck doing remedial tasks with no input or advancement laugh among themselves 4. repeat
