Pros

Some great people, sadly the good ones all leave. They pay huge sums of money to get people to stay and keep the scam running.

Cons

"leadership" team is the worst group of individuals I've ever experienced/worked with. They outright lie to customers and expect the team to do the same. I'm shocked they haven't been sued. Work expectation, vision, execution are non-existent. Work is unmanageable, they have destroyed multiple great startups only to leave the clients to pick up the pieces. Nothing works, the management team has become great at lying to cover up (even internally) the fact that nothing works so they can continue to oversell things they know the technology does not do. The lack of vision and thought leadership is staggering. The rate at which people quit is also alarming, with no notice people are just gone it's never mentioned or addressed. The way this team disregards people is mind-blowing. Truly a sad experience. Trust me, any review that is above a 1 star is not real. Read the 1 star reviews, these are the facts and should be taken seriously.

Pros

This company seems to be well funded. They have been able to put together a good set of companies to support the industry, in a one stop shop mentality. Of course, ultimately this stops true innovation and drives prices up to their base but hey, who is going to sweat the small stuff….

Cons

Oh, where to begin? We must first separate the Syndigo labor force. Why? Because that is what their Upper Management has done. To Upper Management, there is no value in the team under them. They view themselves as elite and the rest of the company as merely expendable. It can be seen in how they actually walk into a building, its truly a sight to see. Enter your visions of Glengarry Glen Ross – It is alive and well in downtown Chicago! 90% of the employees are commiserating on how to get out or if they will be cut. Who did what to whom and how upset they are at that given moment is the prevailing talk of any given day. The other 10% are trying to figure out how to break into the proletariat of the Upper Elite. It is a shame they do not realize, that is simply impossible. Why? Because they did not enter with the C-Suite. If you were not brought in by this group, you are simply red meat to place where they want at any given moment. And as meat, once you have served your purpose, you may be discarded at any time. The Upper Management Group is an interesting mix of people who all believe they know best. Even when it is clear they have a lot of learning to do. They simply dig in deeper and move on. There is something to be said about not giving up, there is more to be said by finally keeping your mouths shut and listening, then finally learning from the people of the companies you bought and why they were successful to begin with. Remember, you did buy those companies for a reason and it was not because they were failing. In closing my largest regret about this review is we are unable to leave a negative number on the scale.

Pros

honestly, there are none..... I honestly wish I could think of one, but I really can not.

Cons

Where to begin..... they are in way over their head. Bought up a bunch of companies, but had no real plan in place on how to integrate these companies into one solution, but have failed miserably in doing so. The people they placed in charge are the people they know will be yes men/women. No one is willing to challenge the management team. They don't care that they lost top talent across the board, between layoffs (which happen when mergers come about) or people leaving. when the top people across multiple departments leave on their own, that should be a red flag to the investors and management. It's sad, the idea behind the combined service is great, they just cant execute it and never will. it will be flipped in a year or so, and they will all cash out and move on to the next disaster. if you were in their frat with them, or worked with them at their previous company then you will be respected. If you just say yes to everything they say, promotion will be there. If you are considering working here, think long and hard about it. They will sell you on the vision, be careful, that vision is very cloudy.
