Vantaggi
One of the best parts of working for this company is the constant drive to improve and innovate, whether that be the technology we’re building or the analysis techniques we’re honing. At some of the companies I’ve worked, the boss hasn’t even known my name. Here, I’m regularly collaborating with my managers, testing the technology that comes from the tech team, and providing feedback that gets integrated into our final products.
My coworkers are spread out around the country—and the globe—and the flexibility offered by telework is an invaluable benefit. And, to be perfectly honest, what we do is just plain cool. I have a great deal of pride in what I do, and how we’re able to serve our clients across a ton of different industries. Not everyone gets to say that their job is making the world a better place, but I really believe at Synoptos we are. Every single day I show up to find a new, challenging and meaningful puzzle to work on. It’s never boring, and I’m constantly learning from some of the smartest people I’ve ever met.
Svantaggi
The lone downside that I’ve run into with telework is that it takes more of a concerted effort to make sure everyone is coordinated well on projects than if you were all together in the same conference room. Most of the time we hit that mark, but occasionally the communication-gap can be tricky.
