Pros

All-remote positions plus corporate "Global Flex/Global Tourist" (work from anywhere) program.

Cons

The Ex-IBM head of marketing brought in an all-IBM middle management tier who all know seem to think and act like they're still at Big Blue. So - there is lots of heavy-handed micromanaging going on, and some fwork is being farmed out to these long-favored relationship agencies. So, opportunities to grow and advance have dried up. The company has grown by acquisition and the acquired companies are usually partially or not at all integrated, so operating processes across the company are painfully slow, broken, or outdated and incomplete.

Pros

Work like a dog everyday evenings nights and weekends. No sick days no lieu time or overtime for work done.

Cons

DO NOT WORK AT SYNTAX No appreciation from supervisor / manager Worst environment to work for. They will treat you like a dog and expect you to be a yes man all the time Work life balance is zero Pay sucks for Canadians The American are treated very well and paid higher for less work done than the Canadians.

Syntax has grown rapidly and continues to review our policies as we grow. We offer both flexible work, work from anywhere, or hybrid, it’s your choice, and we have added additional days for either sickness or other personal needs.
