Pros

Lots of work! Syska on the whole as a company seemed like an excellent firm on par with any of the large AE firms. Great benefits, lots of projects and worksharing.

Cons

Lots of manupulative, contrive drama and mismanaged personel and project workflows. Upper managment is bad, only looking out for themselfs, if you want to work somewhere that you are assured of a eat or be eaten culture then Syska is for you. Really it was like working in a reality TV show lots of frigging egos flying in upper managment. Now of course I cant say the other offices and managment are like this but wow it sucked.

Pros

Lunch and learns are nice. And they do have clear career growth timelines.

Cons

They expect you to pay for daily parking which adds up fast. Not flexible WFH. Micromanagement and harsh. Lack of middle engineers because they all leave once they have experience yet leadership does nothing to retain.
