Pros

Small company has the ability to move up. Seems like they do the best they can to care for their employees. If you stick around there may be opportunity to shift around.

Cons

Organization is very male dominated!!!! For a woman it can be hard. I'm not using my skills for the position I was hired for. Seems like I was promised something and got something else!!!! From discussion there also seems to be no annual pay increases or annual reviews of employees. There is a "hands-off" kind of behavior, but it's too much "hands-off". It feels as if no one cares.

As a service provider, our customers establish the specific requirements for each job. We do our best to match skill with needs of the customer, but occasionally there is either a miscommunication or the requirements change. As we grow, we are rolling out additional infrastructure to better manage direct staff including the Performance and Compensation module within Paycom's Talent Management suite . As part of this initiative we now have better tools to implement company wide annual employee reviews/increases. The role out began at the end of 2014 and will be completed in Q1 of 2015. I appreciate your feedback. In terms of your gender concern, while we work in a male dominated industry, Synaptek fully supports equal opportunity for all employees/positions. We have women in senior roles in both direct and indirect roles in the company. You will be pleased to know that our most recent hire to Synaptek management team, VP of Operations - is a female.

Pros

TekSynap promotes a culture that emphasizes caring for its employees. The company hosts regular events such as annual gatherings and provides holiday gifts, which help foster a sense of community. Compensation is a strong point, with salary being one of the most attractive aspects. Benefits are competitive with industry standards, including a medical PPO plan, dental and vision coverage, up to a 6% 401(k) match, $15K in education benefits, and 20 days of PTO starting out.

Cons

Leadership is weak and often prioritizes contract renewals over supporting employees. There is a clear disconnect between the corporate messaging in monthly communications and the reality on the government contracting side. Compensation limits, offer letters, and pay structures are frequently used to justify requiring salaried employees to work extended hours and weekends. Leadership does not address the underlying issues and instead continues to apply short-term fixes rather than implementing meaningful, long-term solutions.
