      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.

      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.

      Pros

      I would say it's great for recent grads or someone who is just starting out in IT. They are a small company and don't seem to be picky over who they hire.

      Cons

      A very male dominated organization.... Not a woman friendly environment. I was interviewed for a job and promised things that never happened in the position.
