Pros

Synoptek is good company, but it all depends on which department you join and department manager. I would recommend conducting research on department reviews in addition to company reviews before joining. The only advantage I discovered were learning opportunities.

Cons

- There's no decision and never let their employees speak up against their team managers/heads who are doing unethical activities. You can never trust the management as they are never with what is correct, but with their old team heads who are ruling their teams and exploit good resources. - The most important aspect is that there is no job security. While Google and Microsoft declared layoffs, Company did it so quietly in the name of PIP policy. - There is no communication between the delivery manager and senior project manager. They give you different effort estimation for the same project. - For project success, the manager who leads that project is always take your credits. but if a project fails, it is entirely the fault of the employee who is working on that project. Simply because the manager does not have time to work on the review. - Less appraisal, because you are not ready to work on weekends. - No work life balance - Every second politics, spread rumors, taking revenge over the small things are part of the department. - If you take a part of any cultural event that company organized, you have to extend your day.

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.
