      Pros

      Ok If you need a job and there is nothing else.

      Cons

      Bunch of ex General Dynamic Execs who learned that you send people to a Federal Government site being paid so-so salaries while they charge the Govt an outrageous fee and they reap the benefits. i.e. just a body shop and they get rich, not you. But hey isn't that the game in D.C. being a beltway bandit anyway? Very elitist and snobby upper management who act like Synaptek is a major player and they are not that.

      Pros

      If you like a hands off organization that doesn't really pay attention to you or existence. I guess this would be good for someone who likes to lay low and doesn't really care for their career (just a job).

      Cons

      Moving up in the company is not about your technical ability or expertise, but about how much "buddy buddy" you are with management. If your good at brown nosing you will advance within the company ranks and it will determine what projects they assign you on. There are a lot of politics and people in low positions seem to hold undocumented power. Unless you are the "used car salesman" type, you should head out the door. Personally in my many years doing IT this is by-far the worst company I've worked for. Resulting in the lowest point in my career. In order to get pay increase, you have to ask. There is no performance review etc...

      Pros

      There really isn't much to say positive. If you are in the IT field and in the DC area you have a smorgasbord of companies to work for. This is a small company that I feel wasn't started in the best of intentions.

      Cons

      Many of the current employees are family members. Wives, brothers, sisters etc.... Then you have a level of friends for those family members. So it's kind of like the Verizon friends and family plan of business (LOL). This makes it real hard to advance because your not going to replace someone's sister/brother/wife. They will always get preferential treatment over you in every way. It's just one big joke. The company gives everyone the "impression" that they care about employees (parties etc...) and are generous to employees, but in actuality they spend money on the things that "look large" and very little money on the things that matter (wages, benefits).

      At one time there was great pride in a company being family-owned and operated. Synaptek does, in fact, have a limited number of qualified family members employed in the company. Our approach has these individuals reporting to someone outside of a direct relation and they are held to the same high standards as other employees. The "Nepotismtek" moniker, while clever, does not really apply, as family members makes up approximately 5% of the workforce. Advancement in the company for all employees is tied to corporate growth enabling new opportunities.We have been able to consistently promote internally as we have added new programs. Synaptek does deeply care about our employees. In a competitive market we offer strong compensation and above average benefits. I encourage you to contact me directly about your experience with the company. I am always open to constructive criticism on how we can improve as an organization. David Gauldfeldt President, Synaptek Corporation
