Unfair, un- appreciated, no opportunity

Operations
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

A small and young company that will give you wide roles and responsibilities.

Cons

No real career opportunity. Laughable salaries. Being constantly threatened of losing your 1-2 annual mediocre bonuses. Depressing work environment. No real performance measures but mere opinion. Being paid salary when you are expected and required to work a minimum 8 hours a day and are forced to stay till 5pm.

A decent place to start, but it's a turn and burn shop

Technical account manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- A good place to get a foundation in the tech industry - very low stress - They'll bring in people new to the industry, first job out of college, and career switchers. Get your foot in the door and some experience here, and then you can transition to a company that will pay you what you're worth.

Cons

- Synology pays about 30% below the market rate. - The most WFH hostile organization I've ever seen - Very high turnover rate. It's a turn and burn shop and they seem to be ok with that. They are willing to bring in people that may not be able to break into this industry or role, but it doesn't take long before people can get another job for a 50% pay bump. - False advertising for pay ranges. Job listings give a $55k-$100k pay range, but managers have said that "no one starts above $70k - No room for growth or advancement. I tried multiple times to bring new opportunities or angles to the company, shot down every time - General level of distrust from management of non-management workers

Great place to start, awful salary

Technical account manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

1. Everyone on the sales team is super friendly and helpful, willing to teach you anything and provide guidance. 2. Great place to start your "tech career", work-life balance is ok, no overtime, flexible hours.

Cons

1. Salary is awful, despite being a VERY profitable company. 2. Management adds new metrics/goals every once in a while, directions keep shifting. 3. 3 days in the office, and potentially looking to do more. 4. 50% of people are gone in less than 2 years here.
