Total Synergy is a group of people-centred by a great subculture. We have meaningful values, a hardworking and supportive team, and a vision that is focused on growing our community of users around the world. We are a jeans and t-shirt company, family-friendly, transparent and open, generally quite nerdy, and supportive of each other. We have an office in North Sydney for those based there — close to transport and services, surrounded by lots of eateries, cafes, drinking holes for those that like this, and shops — and we’ve earned a few perks along the way, like a well-stocked drinks fridge, cool tees + hoodies, professional development resources, a coaching culture, are supportive of flexibility and we continue to review and add to these as we go. We value diversity of perspective and seek to build an inclusive workplace that welcomes people from all backgrounds.
