Pros

Some genuinely talented and hard-working developers who did their best to keep things running despite the chaos. Occasionally, teamwork and shared problem-solving made the job rewarding.

Cons

Toxic culture driven by personal politics, not merit. Leadership routinely ignored warnings, broke promises, and promoted based on relationships rather than skill. Constant reactivity with no effort to address root causes created endless crisis management and high turnover. Trust and transparency were virtually non-existent.

Thank you for your review and for your comments regarding our team of developers. We are currently expanding this team rapidly as we know more resource is required within this department. We recognise that some people thrive on more pressure than others, which is why we encourage our managers to have 1-2-1 meetings with their team members where there is an opportunity to have an open and honest 2-way conversation (in line with our brand values), to tackle any issues and offer solutions before pressure becomes stress. We seek to create a workplace that promotes a healthy escalation culture where questions, issues and disputes are raised and dealt with appropriately. We do not have a culture of disciplining people who challenge the status quo, in fact we have an induction training session that specifically covers how to escalate issues, and this is fully supported by management at all levels. Our values are part of the DNA of the company, this is reflected in the performance culture, ensuring all employees understand and act on the values we stand by. We routinely see people who have progressed their careers elsewhere returning to Synertec roles. Managers are all trained to the same standard as part of our Manager’s Springboard programme, and all recruitment is undertaken by multiple managers to ensure we get the right person for the role. We are proud to have run the same manager’s programme for the past 8 years ensuring all our managers get consistent information and can support each other. Senior management regularly provide updates as to project statuses and other news. We receive monthly communication from the MD regarding business news and updates and visits each site every quarter to hold Q&As with employees to share and discuss developments.
