TekSynap reviews

Organization is very male dominated!!!! For a woman it can be hard. I'm not using my skills for the position I was hired for. Seems like I was promised something and got something else!!!! From discussion there also seems to be no annual pay increases or annual reviews of employees. There is a "hands-off" kind of behavior, but it's too much "hands-off". It feels as if no one cares.

I also worked on a contract and was micromanaged by a PM, who expected people to work on the weekends – with no overtime due to exempt/salaried status. Overtime was expected, rather than appreciated. Microsoft Lync was used to babysit and micromanage employees. Management often checked it to make sure we were working at our laptops, and finishing tasks ahead of time was rewarded with more work. It was difficult to get time off, due to the crushing schedule, and employees used to not be able to get any compensatory time, regardless of the number of hours put in. The PM also questioned every travel expense, even for baggage fees. How do you cram your work laptop and change of clothes into something small enough to fit into the small overhead bins? Furthermore, the PM liked to terminate people early. If you gave your resignation notice, the PM would often set your termination date earlier. It is unprofessional, childish, and not something you expect from a leader. This contract was a nightmare, and working from home was like being a prisoner in your own house. The saving grace is that upper management genuinely seems to care about their company and people, so they try to do damage control, but are not always aware or successful.
