Pros

To be honest, I have been working across different companies in Kenya and this was by far the best organisation I worked with. As is the case, work can be difficult, pressure is always there but synnefa has found a way to create a flexi workplace, awards and cash gifts with bonusly and work from home initiatives. There is no boss or that corporate hierachy and you get to speak to anyone easily and freely. Having come from other companies, this was a real culture shock. overally I enjoyed working here and would love to come back again if given an opportunity.

Cons

There are many of software systems for you to be on top of and can sometimes feel overwhelming when new or if you are a slow tech learner. No easy support, you are expected to get to speed fast and have autonomy which can feel scary at first Deadlines are tight and must be met so ensure you give commitments you can meet.

Glad the mentorship and team culture made your time on the hardware side a real place to learn — building people up is exactly what we want internships here to do. Thanks for the energy you're bringing to the work, and we hope these skills serve you well, here or wherever you go next.
