      Where do these managers come from?

      Pros

      There are usually a whole bunch of startups like this in DC. You really take a chance to see if things work out. You will either like it or not. When this company was small the initial management were the principals that seemed to really care about the employees. The middle management that was placed there really act like a narcissistic buffer.

      Cons

      Out of my 15 years of working for IT, this seems to be the one company that will really take advantage of the term "salary exempt employee". It's best to try to find ways to avoid doing work they will want you to do. In all honestly you won't gain any special benefit from doing this work because they will promote their friends and relatives before you. Expect to work overtime.

      It's all about who you know...

      Pros

      If you are looking to get your feet wet in the IT field (with little to no IT exp), Synaptek is the place for you. If you are looking for experience in a fast paced, poorly managed IT company, Synaptek is also the place for you! If you're looking for a place that will promote their culture all day long, look no further! But please don't let the Synaptek branded coffee mugs and USB thumb drives fool you. And as the title says, it's all about who you know at Synaptek. If you are friends with the right people you might even see 2-3 promotions in the span of a year!

      Cons

      It's all smoke and mirrors with Synaptek. They boast and brag the small contracts they were awarded as well as their awards for top 50 this and that. The middle management are mainly hired to just look good and have about zero experience in Government Contracting. Makes it pretty tough to work with the client facing group when they don't even understand their client's needs. There also isn't a QA department within the development team. Developers are left to QA their own work. And let's close this all out with what I stated in the title, it is all about who you know at Synaptek. If you're looking to make it to the top with Synaptek, get with the right people and you'll go far even if you have zero qualification for the work/job you are being promoted for. If you want to be rewarded for hard work and actually doing your job, look elsewhere and find another company.

      Pros

      When the company was smaller, they were OK. The initial management seemed to care about the employees and try to provide benefits. Since middle-management positions have been created, it's gone downhill from there.

      Cons

      The salary and benefits are sub-par with industry standards. There is no methods for employee retention or employee feedback. It seems like you are working in a vacuum. The managers have a irritating personality and there seems to be an atmosphere the fosters a typical H.S. jock environment. This is supposed to be an IT company where your wheels are mainly engineers and other "techie" types.
