Pros

- package and benefits maintained in the average for Portugal (except for the bonus that is now almost non-existent) - the company maintains an active partnership with some key market players - opportunity to work with exclusive technologies - the Marketing team has put a lot of effort in improving the internal and external communication, although sometimes not 100% effective

Cons

- excessively bureaucratic - leadership does not listen to the suggestions and totally fails to understand employees' needs - instead of focusing on team effort, one single person is given too much control and power over the organisation - the top management often uses a culture of fear and intimidation to get the things done - excessive use of "bond" contracts to prevent the employees from leaving the company - the current performance appraisal system is unfair and it has become almost impossible to get qualified to receive a bonus - the employees see the results and margins clearly improving every semester, however, without a reason, social events are now almost nonexistent - lack of company culture values

Pros

Company invests in their employees with certifications in SAP, Sybase, Redhat, Oracle and Java, you can do as many as you want. The company values are: FUN, FREEDOM and SMART. Projects and outsourcing;

Cons

Company has few social events; The top and middle management do not hear, care or take into account the consultants opinions and ideas; There's no FUN while working at Syone; You have to do as you're told to and never question any decision, there is no FREEDOM nor CREATIVITY at Syone; As a consultant you will discover that you were lied to and tricked many times, maybe this is the SMART value in action, maybe not; The evaluation process is a lie, is just a scam to justify why you're not getting a raise; If you were outsourced, the main idea is for you to be there, quiet and without questioning or asking for opportunities to develop yourself; Middle and top management promote an environment without communication, keeping thinks "calm" and "manageable";
