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.
