Great place to grow in IT

Pros

One of the best things about Synoptek is that there is such a vast array of technology we support and implement for our clients. No matter where you are in your IT career, there is something for you at Synoptek. And no doubt a path for you to grow in. HR and management have a good policy and people to help employees find what they enjoy and are good at so if you're unhappy, you can find out what you need to do to make that jump to something else in the company. Culture has really developed well in the several years I've been around. Fun people, brilliant team members and a growing business! Also, a lot of teams have great flexible work schedules and often working remotely is an option in some cases.

Cons

Definitely not the job for you if you want to disappear or slack off. You will get busy and you will be overwhelmed at times. You will get barked at by angry customers at times. You will feel like you have 60 hour worth of work to do in 20 hours. So, not the type of job for underachievers, know-it-alls, people who can't be team players, or people who don't answer their cell phone when they're on call.

Pros

What's left of the good techs. Sometimes there would be a birthday, and there would be cake. For some, you can do well and possibly progress if you like to live on your knees......................

Cons

Once I had strong aspirations in the world of computers. This company managed to kill them. Apparently the All Hands Q3 never happened, pretty sure we're bleeding money like crazy. You feel very, expendable, and management tends to remind you of that often. If I had a dollar every time a "mandated change" came down the pipe, but was then reverted months later, the Rothschilds would be envious of my wealth.

Pros

You get to work with some amazingly talented people who care about the work they do. If you are self motivated and looking for experience, this is the company that will provide you a great business education.

Cons

Too many "not my job" employees. Executive Management is not acting on what the employees are identifying as problems.
