Pros

Was a lovely company when it was INC with decent supportive managers.

Cons

Changes in the structure of the work and changing job descriptions with no consultation was not a good idea. Our department has been systematically destroyed with able, competent and supportive management dismissed, and incompetent bullies brought in who haven’t the basic understanding of the role, but who think speaking in acronyms and sending emails with graphs telling the department that dates are missing from spreadsheets will motivate the remaining few. One by one, good, experienced, high quality staff have either already left or are leaving. The department has haemorrhaged good quality staff and yet neither upper management nor HR has taken note. These micromanagers have no understanding and show no empathy towards others’ needs, feelings, etc. They are incapable of actively listening but continually interrupt when others are talking and will not see others’ point of view. People on the team doing the operational hands on work are a lovely, close-knit, high calibre team but are being overwhelmed by unmanageable workloads created by inept and incapable “managers” who can obviously prepare a good interview and speak the corporate speak, but who have no concern for quality, teamwork or co-operation.

Pros

Colleagues are great (when they stay), and people are generally very helpful to each other.

Cons

Management is terrible and the culture is get it done fast, but don't worry about doing it well. People leaving at fast rate due to lack of management skills from the top down.

Pros

there is nothing positive I can say about Syneos

Cons

When INC Research bought inVentiv Health (though they called it "merge") and became Syneos I knew this company is not where I want to continue my career. They treat us, employees as if we were robots, have super high expectations and in return they give no support, no recognition.
