Pros
I loved working at Synety during a time when the company was going through a period of growth. Great new offices in the heart of Leicester provided a fantastic working environment, a great product, a great team to work with. There were no barriers between the exec team and their staff and all participated in the fantastic social events that were a plenty. Room for progression if you towed the line and the opening of an office in the USA has given the opportunity to move with the business.
Cons
There was a certain amount of volatility at management level and this did mean that you could find yourself out of a job very quickly, as I witnessed on many occasions. Hire and fire mentality. Sexist board of execs at the time, although I believe this has since been addressed with the re-shuffling of existing exec team and new Chairman. A haphazard strategy that changed weekly resulting in funding being wasted and a slight arrogance that has cost the company dearly in delays in taking working product to market.
