Pros

Invest in training and certifications Diverse set of technologies and customers Supportive employees

Cons

Extremely weak leadership, both within Synthesis and the larger Group that is listed on the JSE. All the Directors are disinterested in the business now, too busy focusing on their own wealth, and relocating overseas for personal convenience and not for the benefit of the business. As a result the whole company is becoming complacent and lazy. No incentives for staff.
