Pros

Relaxed culture, friendly coworkers, flexible hours

Cons

Office is old, rundown, and a sea of gray. No windows upstairs. Definitely an older crowd and not a young person’s company, except maybe for all the interns who got positions through nepotism. There’s been more than one intern with little to no programming experience, which is a little crooked in my opinion. Some company policies are backwards, like using paper timesheets in 2018. Feedback is infrequent and managers will ignore I was also ghosted by my manager after asking for performance feedback while I was leaving the company. Not even a goodbye, as if I had never worked there.

In reviewing our records, we have NOT had ANY employees leave who worked here "full-time for less than a year." It is very important to Doug Dunlap, CEO, that Syntech employees enjoy their work environment, as well as a good work/life balance. Our relaxed culture, flexible hours, and friendly coworkers are a direct result of Doug’s vision being carried out by HR and upper management for all employees. This is one reason why we have low turnover and high retention. A small portion of our building is “under construction” and we are very excited about office renovations that are currently underway which includes freshly painted walls and new doors! Last year, we piloted a summer STEM intern program for high school seniors. This proved to add value to our engineering department (the interns built 44 AIM Mini-Racks for our engineers to use for testing purposes) while giving high school seniors a glimpse of the many opportunities available in STEM related fields. This summer pilot program was a success, so we have continued it for a second year. Additionally, this is our third year implementing Syntech's STEM college intern program. The majority of our college interns (the ones you refer to as having “little to no programming experience”) are students of FSU/FAMU's College of Engineering. During their internship, they created an electronic timesheet that is currently being utilized by our engineering department. Feedback that we have received from our college STEM interns, as well as their mentors within the engineering department, has been VERY POSITIVE and added value to the department resources. We are very happy with our STEM intern program and look forward to building on it every year, making it even bigger and better. Regarding your comment about Syntech not being a “young person’s company” - We are very proud of the diversity within our organization; with 183 employees, the average age is 43.

Pros

Excellent benefits package, and ownership does care about the employees.

Cons

Recent changes in senior management have greatly affected morale. The employee trust is eroding and because of that you are seeing a much higher turnover.

Pros

Benefits, employees, corporate culture & fun activities!

Cons

Healthcare is expensive for dependents but that's because the plan is top of the line. No deductible to meet just copays.

WOW - another employee (8+ years) who loves Syntech! As you mentioned, Syntech's healthcare plan IS top of the line - "Cadillac plan". We never have to meet a deductible. Syntech pays 100% healthcare benefits for each employee, 100% dental, 100% short and long-term disability benefits, AND life insurance (twice the employee's base salary). I'm sure you agree that our employer is VERY generous! Thank you for your commitment and loyalty to Syntech! Employees like you make Syntech an outstanding place to work.
