“I came to Synectic from one of the big 4 firms so it was important to me to continue my career in a firm that I felt upheld the same professional standards that I’d been used to. I was also ready to start a family, so it was important that the firm I chose catered for this. I had a number of employment options and chose Synectic. Most employers advocate that they are family friendly, however, in my experience this does not always occur in practice. Synectic have provided a great family-friendly environment, with true flexibility, to cater for the birth of my two children and returning to work on a part-time basis. Appreciation is always shown from the partners when you are able to work outside of normal part-time hours to meet deadlines and assist clients, however it is never expected. The professional standards of the firm are very high and Synectic embraces changes in technology. Partners are interested not only in improving the firm, but ensuring that all staff enjoy coming along for the ride, continuing to develop both professionally and personally. After ten years with Synectic my personal circumstances have lead me to a change, however, I have no problems recommending Synectic as a great place to work.”
