Pros

Synoptek has been a great part of my life for almost 20 years now. During that time we have grown dramatically - both organically and through mergers. This has allowed me to take on new responsibility, learn new technologies and work with great customers. Synoptek is still small enough where I can make a difference. I don't feel like just a number.

Cons

We are not in the office as much anymore so I don't see the team as much as we have in the past. Synoptek has been flexible with remote work but I miss seeing people in person as much as I used to. Sometimes the work can be demanding but that is both a pro and a con.

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
