Cynergy Reviews

Pros

There is lots of freedom to get things done on my own and be a leader. Since we are a smaller company my contributions are noticed AND APPRECIATED. We are light on management, they don't get in your way, and your day is not full of meetings. The amount of transparency at the company is beyond anything I have experienced previously and sets the bar for what it should be going forward. I work with lots of smart people who are willing to share knowledge in areas I am not as strong in. We get rid of under-performers - this is huge to me - I don't have to work with someone who isn't pulling their weight. We love to have fun, the company encourages a culture of fun. Its a great fit for me.

Cons

Your projects and what you are working on can change quickly - I don't really see this as a bad thing as it keeps you interested and learning new things, but if you like the same thing every day for the long term, this might be more of an issue for you.

Pros

It may be not a best job in the world, but this is best I've tried. I been with company awhile and have no plans to leave. Over that time I see how company changes in response on the business challenges. But something is kept unchanged. You may expect very open space and friendly opportunity in the office, flexible hours, flexible place to work and sincere understanding of your personal needs (like unexpected time-off you may request). In last case no one will treat you against "formal corporative policy" first (popular behavior on my previous jobs). However you have to understand - everything comes with price. You have to perform. Don't even bother with resume If you expect just spend time there. So, if you want to learn, to produce a real result and be on the industry's cutting edge, please join us.

Cons

As other have mentioned, career opportunities are not very clear. This is probably bad than good. It would be nice if everyone has clear understanding about personal feature within company.

Pros

The management does not care about things that don't matter, but could not care more about creating an end product that amazes. This is an environment where the very best can find a happy home. Good end results are very much rewarded and appreciated. Salaries and insurance are very good. Many of the people on the payroll and truly good people. You are left to do your job in the way you best see fit to do it. If you really are the best at what you do than Cynergy is a great home. You will bleed Cynergy.

Cons

Professionalism is something that does not exist here. Mistakes are met with yelling and name calling. The worst part is that the CEO defines narcissism, and has no idea how to run a company effectively. If you do not fit into the "popular" crowd at the office you are neglected and more than likely let go. Advancement within the company is not an option. Management is scattered, disorganized and dishonest about performance. There is practically no HR. There is absolutely and intentionally no sense of job security. There are no goals, feedback, or training.

Pros

Awesome coworkers - we really do have some of the best people in the industry working here. They have consistently been great to work with and many are now good friends. Relaxed office - no cubes, open spaces, ping pong (this matters), wear shoes if you want to, snacks and drinks provided including good coffee :). Widely varying projects - I have not found myself solving the same problems over and over. Each project brings lots of new things to learn about.

Cons

Little career advancement opportunities - there are not so many people that numerous layers of management are needed. That is nice in some respects but it also means that you kind of have your job and that's that. Bonuses have not materialized in a while.

Pros

Working at Cynergy pulls the best from you. Everybody is on their 'A' game, and is driven to produce the best they can. If you want to stay at the leading edge of the industry there's no place else to be. The company engenders a family atmosphere that is supportive and invigorating. This is the first place I've been where the conversation over drinks isn't all complaints about work. Rather, it's all about the cool stuff you're doing, and what we're going to be jumping into next.

Cons

Working with Cynergy almost becomes a lifestyle. It's demanding of your time and requires a lot of devotion. As a growing company it has moments where the pains of increasing size can be felt, but the executive team is mature and those moments are quickly resolved.

Pros

Smart, motivated people. Exciting projects. Freedom to be responsible for your own work. Constant flow of new projects. Ability to take on challenges as a team. Annual leadership conference. Great sense of commendatory. Freedom to be an individual with passions and aspirations outside of work. Casual work environment. Minimal travel for a consulting practice. No sitting in a cubicle or in endless meetings wishing the day would go by faster.

Cons

Expect to work hard - no real surprise if you've been in consulting before. Not the place to be if you expect to hide, be lazy, or not contribute (that's a pro if you are a motivated person). Flat organization - there is no ladder to climb (suits some people and deters others). Some travel is a must for certain roles.
