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.

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...
