Do not trust the fake reviews

Pros

None.Absolutely none. You will have a better future finding a job on your own.

Cons

Most of the reviews (barring 4 or 5) have been written by the same person. They are all fake. The manager of this group is as despicable as a person can be. He is so full of himself and thinks he is doing you a favor when in fact all he is doing is exploiting you. The trainers are OK. But its not something you can't learn on your own if you don't put in a little bit of effort.

Hi Thanks for writing a review. We welcome all reviews both positive as well as negative and especially negative reviews as they help us improve our processes. our results speak for themselves https://www.synergisticit.com/candidate-outcomes/ We dont write our reviews even though we do understand your underlying intent. Also We have nothing to do with a candidate's resume . Candidates supply us their resumes , we ask them to highlight their projects and skills and we just push them to the market. Also we have 95% Citizens/GC and Ead and maybe 5%OPT students so please check the source of your information Candidates who join us do their research and go to competing organizations, talk to their friends, research us and only then do they come over to us. Everyone is aware that reviews can be inflated and in today's informed economy people are very intelligent. We have been providing great technology training for nearly 9 years now. Reason people come to us is because we assist them in improving themselves both functionally and technically. Our Alumni has been placed at Google, Apple, Intel, Ebay, Cisco Systems, Paypal , Wells Fargo Bank, Walmart labs to name a few. If any potential candidate wants to verify if that is true or not we would be more than pleased for candidates to come over and look at our Alumni and their placements along with names. We hope that cant be considered as fake. Today's market is hyper competitive and its survival of the fittest the only way a candidate can survive is when they are better than other candidate competing for jobs in the market. We are going to be honest(considered by some as rudeness) , We will show you your weaknesses both technical and functional. Many candidates dont like when we ask them to change the way they speak or carry themselves in a certain way but it is necessary to be good functionally along with technically to make a good impression. If what we taught was so easily attainable by books and self study then our trainers with collective experience of more than 70+ years would not be needed and nobody would come to us for training. We ourselves have 1000+ books in java with almost half a million pages think how much time it will take to cover those . We even have candidates stating the same that i can do these studies myself and I dont need to join you and come back to us after 6 months asking for our help. We tell them @$40-45/hour at the minimum you lost $41600 -$46800 income for yourself which you would be earning had you completed training and had got into a good project. We train candidates on core Java spring hibernate webservices, full stack ( angular/nodejs and mongodb). Cloud computing technologies like amazon webservices. NoSQL databases like mongodb/ Cassandra. Our primary focus is to ensure our candidates get jobs as that’s the primary focus they came to us. We are very straightforward and if we tell you something we would honor it. We will not make false commitments to you. To prove it we offer you $1000 as a macy's/Amazon or Itunes gift card if you can post a public reply here detailing how we misrepresented you and how we made a commitment and did not follow through. Anyone can be anonymous and be a heckler it takes courage to go on stage and be in the spotlight. I am the manager and I am despicable --"which means deserving hatred and contempt" but i am content being hated as long as we as an organization can help candidates joining us achieve their goals of achieving a successful career in the technology world. We are not perfect and have so many flaws but we have a vision to provide the best java and technology training in the whole of California . We have a small poster board in our office "You can't live a positive life with a negative mind" thats food for thought. We wish you the best irrespective and look forward to hearing from you more so if we are at fault we can do things to improve ourselves

Pros

the training is better than other companies

Cons

training contract is strict . I had to pay them 18000 as settlement and 4000 in their lawyer charge and every month I am paying them 2000 dollars out of my paycheck. I had taken training and went on project and then left without finishing the 1 year contract which they had made me sign. they have same terms in training contract and in the other contract which they make you sign when you get project which is 25000 $ . if you join them and bypass them , take training and run away or join project and leave in middle of project . they send some emails from their account and if you pay the penalties then it is fine if not their lawyer sends notice, then court notice. I even had changed my phone and address somehow the lawyer still caught hold of me and sent letters to my new place and to my email and workplace. I hired a lawyer but he was charging 5000 for the case and said you will have to pay so I settled with them. I feel I should not have joined them or should have completed my contract as I am still paying through my nose for a small mistake. I cannot take manager name as glassdoor will not let me take his name he did not show me any mercy when I explained I don't have any money to pay for contract violation. good thing is I have a job presently to pay them otherwise I would be on road if it was left to them

Hi Thanks for writing the review. We appreciate your inputs. Our contract is not suitable for people who come to take training and then try to leave after taking training or in the middle of the project they are assigned to. We spend more than 20k on training and accommodation etc so we need to ensure people are serious about what they are trying to do. We are aware who you are even though figures are changed a little and we hope you take into consideration that whithout the training imparted to you you would have been unable to source a job

STOP TAKING OVER THE JOB BOARDS

Pros

NOTHING I HATE THIS COMPANY

Cons

Every single tech position is saturated with these "job listings", if I wanted to pay 10k to get a job I would go back to school. It should be illegal for companies offering no real job like this to post on job boards. STOP IT!! You are congesting job boards. It needs to stop.
