Pros

This is a relatively new company with small company culture. They do offer work from home positions as well as flexible schedules. They have contracts all over the DC/MD/VA area for large names.

Cons

This company has a culture that is difficult to work with. A lot of cronyism and nepotism is practiced on a daily basis. Politics is the game to get you ahead, if you don't play then you don't get ahead period. That is the basis for you salary, pay increases etc... They certainly know how to play the PR game and value those that play that game for them. They try to take advantage of you and NOTHING is ever in writing.

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.
