Pros

Very good quality of life. They will let me go home or take vacation anytime I want. Come and go as you see fit.

Cons

Management is absent. The place is a ghost-town. Nobody cares and nobody knows what to care about. I see new people coming in after having been told false things about what it's like here, what we do, how we work and how to succeed. It's unfair to these new employees to see them get so disappointed on week two.

Pros

Ceo is great. Team is great. Office is great. Everything about the company point to it being truly successful. Restaurant on ground floor is tasty too

Cons

I'm used to more structure so that part bothered me. Then again that's just my personality. There is a flat team structure which was interesting for me.

Pros

Pre-Synoptek: great work/life balance, company culture, smart, creative and supportive team Post-Synoptek: decent pay? theoretically unlimited PTO? (but we know what that means)

Cons

Pre-Synoptek: somewhat siloed working groups, poor communication from management Post-Synoptek: no company culture, only lip service to work/life balance, no support for personal or health challenges, top-down management, typical white male dominant with no regard for justice or diversity
