Hesitant for new technology or product development
Apr 25, 2023 - Director of Engineering in San Jose, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The company is profitable with its existing product portfolio. Good and safe work environment.
Cons
Too much hesitation in going after new technologies/product development. Keeps canceling new product developments thus demotivating engineering teams. Management keeps looking for products with short-term returns and thus dont have any leadership products/technology. Senior management is mediocre and does not show respect for technically strong employees.

Young company with excellent technology that needs to mature and take better care of its employees.
Dec 9, 2008 - Manager in Santa Clara, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Synaptics was an exciting place to work but very intense and short driven. The company lacks strategic direction. The HR organization is poorly run and these leads to significant unrest and turnover within the company.
Cons
Long hours. lots of travel and little opportunity for recognition. Synaptics needs to improve employees opportunities for work//life balance. Long hours and constant travel are seen as badges of honor rather than signs of an unhealthy work environment. HR is known for hiring from the outside without consulting or involving key stakeholders in the decision making process.
