The Syndicate (NJ)

Is this your company?

If you don’t fit their “vibe” they’ll take you to do the hard work they don’t want to do and then discard you. - Anonymous employee The Syndicate (NJ) Employee Review

Pros

Not a single thing is salvageable.

Cons

No Diversity, Bad Culture, Toxic. Not a clear onboarding environment, I tried getting involved and kept being thrown back into doing the one project no one else wanted to do and stunted and then told my inability to do more than one project (despite expressing interest and then being told to do something else) was part of why they were getting rid of me. I noticed the inequity between myself and the the other new hire right away. I got put on the project that needed a severe amount of leg work, she got to do pre-established. And then I was penalized for needing extra time to fix their disorganized disaster of a campaign. Very unprofessional. Constantly felt belittled compared to the other new hire. Personally believe they didn’t really want me there from the get go so once they go me on a schedule where I got two weeks worth of advanced content out they dropped me. I’ve worked for a variety of companies in my career and this was the worst. Don’t put yourself through the trouble. They set you up to fail, especially if they prefer someone else. They even tried to get me to work through the rest of my projects after saying I was no longer employed because I wasn’t “fast enough”, so I told them “no, get your employees to do it” When I tried asking simple questions like “hi, I’m a little confused. But what can I do to improve for my future?” They responded combatively. Makes me think they used me to finish this “less than ideal” project that was out of their depth but didn’t want to truly pay another full time worker. I genuinely hope they crash and burn. And the whole crew can go down with the ship.

Pros

This was a great first internship in entertainment. I enjoyed the independent projects in brand and influencer marketing, as well as connecting with many other students my age pursuing a similar career. The company also hosted Q&As with various senior level staff members, which provided a lot of insight.

Cons

The intern class size is very large, and you tend to get buried in the herd, unless you really push to get opportunities. A lot of work often felt very busy-work coded, and it felt like we were doing research that was often not being used. It is also an unpaid experience.
