Synaptics Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

not a single benefit for regular employess

Cons

new management bringing their buddies (in VP/SVP roles) every other week across all sites. no more stock options for regular employees. tweaked espp program to further erode employee perks. cutting costs to increase GM. layoffs every 6-9 months. unlimited PTO is a joke. cafeteria is substandard. no work life balance. you are expected to attend late night meetings and still show up at office by 9.

Pros

Good team work, challenging assignments

Cons

Frequent lay offs, micro management, hierarchy, poor work/ life balance

Pros

Benefits. Work life balance. Friendly environment.

Cons

Quite a bit of work at times but isn't that normal?

Pros

Good work life balance, they promote and advance women and minorities, the managers do not micromanage, the office is nice with a good cafeteria and gym, and they are serious about making a difference in their community. The combination of all these things are impressive.

Cons

They keep overpromising and under delivering, while our competitors delivered. They just did not seem to grasp the complexity of some projects and underestimated how long it would take to make it work. This caused our customers to not trust our schedules and turn to competitors whose schedules they could trust.

Pros

Brilliant people minimal corporate politics good team spirit nice career development Feels like a startup but with good life work balance flexible budget to procure equipment Good exposure to many teams and technology areas Good cafeteria Potential travel to Asia with no per-diem Serves alcohol on the premises Relatively diverse

Cons

Needs more process Somewhat low base salary Can be too focused on maintaining immediate business at the expense of future growth favors cubes over offices. small workout facility
