DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

Small company with management who've been managers within another large company. If you like that kind of thing then this is for you.

Cons

This company has no desire to stay in business long. Their goal is to become large enough to be bought out by someone else. In the end the little guys never benefit from this. Management targets certain employees as having value (which doesn't mean they are skilled) and they get better benefits/raises etc... If you are not in their target, then you should probably leave. Also the comment made about Work From Home is FALSE, if you are on contract with the federal gov and it offers work from home, then you can, but most don't. Synaptek is a federal contractor as most of it's employees are working federal contracts. In addition the comment made about being paid during Gov Shutdowns IS also FALSE. The federal government pays the contracting company well in advance and a shutdown usually doesn't harm the contracting company or it's employees in any way. During the last Gov shutdown most federal contractors all across different contracting companies were still employed. Also the President's responses have mostly been false as well. Synaptek does have relatives supervising each other within the organization.

Pros

Nice for Jr. employees, fresh out of college. Not good for senior people who've been around the block a few times.

Cons

This company seems to have a hard time trying to appreciate their employees. Salary is so-so and benefits are horrible. The company seems cheap for their employees and expensive for their customer. The medical insurance plans they offer have a very high deductible and very limited coverage. They used to offer free medial insurance for "employee only" plan, now with the new plans there is a cost. In addition the coverage levels have significantly lowered. I can no longer obtain my medical treatments from my current doctor since the insurance changed. You have to pay a deductible for everything now. When you complain to management the answer is "we are a small company" (LOL). The environment is very political, you are only noticed by management when you "play the game". Management act like children, joking around and laughing about any little thing. Employees are promoted if they buddy buddy with certain individuals. If you don't, then it's best to leave (like I'm trying to do). And yes, all upper management are ex General Dynamics Exec who's husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, in-laws, cousins, pet dogs and gold fish are employee through Synaptek.

Bully Management/Micromanagement

Pros

Company is relatively new. I guess if you stick around you could eventually obtain a good position. There are adv/dis of small companies like this. Millions of start-up companies like this exist in the DC/MD/VA area.

Cons

Tend to see a "bully method" among management to lower employees. Other managers and supervisors tend to micromanage projects and various operations. General employees within the company seem to have "low-education" mostly H.S. or just an A.S. degree. Synaptek seems to target this group.
