Pros

Flexible schedule gave me time to interview elsewhere.

Cons

Thomas Ewe is a horrible CEO. I've heard him scream and curse at employees on numerous occasions. He had no respect for others. He has an unwarranted arrogance about him. He believes he is always right and not the customer. They have a major branding problem because they are too cheap to hire a real marketer. Google Synactive and you'll get Guixt.com that has a headline of liquidUI. They have no clue how to run a business.

As the leader of any company, it is my responsibility to decide whom to reward, whom to encourage, and in times of economic uncertainty, whom to reduce hours and furlough, as was the case with this gentleman. In this particular case, we reduced his hours, when we should have terminated the position. That brought about his unusual obsession with Synactive, posting here under fictitious positions every few months, after a year. Synactive has the most sophisticated mobile offering for SAP ERP, bar none. To produce such an innovative product, the support and the documentation to go with it, we need the best folks, and we have them. My advice to you, whatever happened in your life, good or bad, you deserved it. You can always blame someone else for your problems, but the fact that you hate my guts, is not my problem.

Pros

The owner and management team have grown the business with a steady pace. They are consistently mindful of the business decisions and how to stay the course and grow the organization. There have been several changes over the last year that is helping drive employee satisfaction, sales and corporate branding. The company took steps to put processes in place that make it feel more grown up. In addition to the relaxed work environment, they have good benefits; including health, dental, vision, life & disability and 401(k). They also have some perks like laundry service, fresh fruit and generous vacation and leave policies. If you value that kind of stuff then they offer it. Within a very short time of working here you’ll know everyone by first name and you’re likely to run into the owner/CEO walking down the hall or chatting in the foyer. Managers are approachable and welcome new ideas. Employees have the independence to do great work if they put in the effort.

Cons

Transparency and communication has improved greatly and will continue to get better if everyone stays the course. Communication within your immediate department or team is good however, communication between departments could be better.
