Pros

Family like culture, where everyone is happy to help each other even if they are under a deadline too. The people who work here are awesome. If you want to to something new all you have to do is ask most of the time. Other great perks include good insurance and 401K matching program.

Cons

One of biggest the biggest challenges at Syska is having to figure out your own path to moving up in the organization. It was not until recently that there was even career path charts available. It is also hard to forge relationships with other employees that are outside of your office. This usually only happens if you are lucky enough to get involved in a project that requires you to travel to another office.

Pros

an easy step to start career in New York City. nice people and good program for new graduate. various events and programs.

Cons

start as an entry or higher management level otherwise you will stay as is almost until you leave. if you satisfy where you are, stay there. It will be tough to move to busy company in NYC. 2% annual salary increase and no promotion. But it depends on managers.

Pros

Lots of work! Syska on the whole as a company seemed like an excellent firm on par with any of the large AE firms. Great benefits, lots of projects and worksharing.

Cons

Lots of manupulative, contrive drama and mismanaged personel and project workflows. Upper managment is bad, only looking out for themselfs, if you want to work somewhere that you are assured of a eat or be eaten culture then Syska is for you. Really it was like working in a reality TV show lots of frigging egos flying in upper managment. Now of course I cant say the other offices and managment are like this but wow it sucked.
