At Synapse Group Inc., we believe in nurturing growth, accepting challenges, seizing opportunity, and having fun.
We don't believe in trainees
At Synapse you can make an immediate impact from your first day... and the best way to illustrate that point is through Synapse's employees themselves.
Here's what they have to say about being a part of Synapse:

"Synapse is a company that believes in career development, not job development. Since starting in July 1999,
I have worked on or managed a variety of projects at Synapse – all with a high degree of responsibility and many
decision-making opportunities. The Synapse environment allows even recent college graduates to be responsible for major projects,
in large part due to the wealth of easily accessible resources at every level of management.
Synapse is made up of people who are just great, both professionally and personally." |

"I've been handling the front desk here for years, and although at times it's been challenging, for the most part it's been lots of fun.
From my first interview at Synapse, I felt a real sense of belonging. The people here had such a knack for making me feel like a part of
their team. When I began in 1993 there were about 25 employees, and every one of them made me feel welcome. Although we are a few hundred
more in number, the one constant here is high quality people. I enjoy my job here even after all these years, especially chatting with
vendors, clients, or potential candidates for employment." |

"In hindsight, my decision to begin a career with Synapse 5 years ago was one of the best decisions I have made. Synapse has provided
me with a truly unique and challenging experience. Synapse has also supported me in the pursuit of my MBA, which I obtained while
continuing to work full time. Synapse's flexibility with my education and career decisions has allowed me to simultaneously enhance
my entrepreneurial instincts and progress within the company. While at Synapse, I have been exposed to a multitude of enriching
projects and feel that I am really part of something special. I believe that Synapse has a very strong future and I am excited
to continue contributing to the company's growth and success." |

"Seldom is anyone just a spectator or second string. From advising business units to defining system functionality, I have been able
to use both my business and technical skills within my department. With each project, I am presented with increasing challenges that
force me to think creatively. I now know that my education did not end with graduating from college... it continues here at Synapse." |

"I have never been bored at Synapse. The environment is fast-paced, innovative, and demanding, allowing constant opportunity for achievement.
With an engineering degree and an MBA, I had a diverse set of career experiences prior to joining this marketing company. However, none
have compared with what I have found here. Since arriving in 1996 I have been constantly learning, and I feel my personal growth has matched
Synapse's tremendous growth." |

"I took a gamble on Synapse in 1992 and it has paid off. Numerous colleagues and friends at the time were warning me about taking
such a risk on an unknown business plan, but I went with my instincts. There is nothing more powerful and convincing than a brilliant
idea: you recognize ingenuity immediately, and that's what Synapse had to offer compared to other companies I was considering. We
continue to operate with the same verve and entrepreneurial spirit we had way back then. Racing at warp speed creates a dynamic and
challenging atmosphere – certainly not for the faint of heart. But what has kept me at Synapse has been the rewarding business
relationships and friendships I've developed over the years." |

"Seldom in the string of jobs that people work at do they wake up excited about going to work. In the time that I have been working,
I have only been at one other place that has made me feel this way. I think this says a lot. For many people, dragging themselves out of
bed to do a job is a daily routine, dreading the fact they have to go to work. This is not the case here. Synapse is definitely not like
that. Synapse is a multi-cultural diverse company that specializes in teaching and learning. More emphasis is put into making sure someone
learns as well as produces than I have ever seen at any other company. I have never been bored at Synapse. In just over a year of being
here, I can't remember a time when there wasn't something going on that wasn't interesting and challenging, requiring constant thought
and unique solutions. Never a day goes by that I don't say, 'you learn something new every day.' " |
