Has anybody here worked with SynergisticIT? What are your thoughts about this company?

I know that these staffing/training services aren't ideal, but its something I have to consider. It almost sounds too good to be true. They say you will be guaranteed a 90k+ salary job after you finish 3-5 months of training with them. You pay in total $25,000.... 10k up front.... 15k later in however many payments. I understand some other companies do this kind of service, but paying for something up front is what scares me. Is this legitimate, can anyone vouch for SynergisticIT?

Im an F1 visa student graduating in May 2021 and have been applying to different companies for OPT opportunities at the moment. Recently I've been receiving job positions emails from firms called Net2Source, e-Solutions Inc, SynergisticIT. They are all from recruiters that has Indian names, has presence on Glassdoor/LinkedIn and the companies has US address. While the positions is usually somewhat relevant of my resume, theres always some sort of proofing error on the email, plus their website seems a bit cookie cutter looking, with Net2Source site triggering malware warning. Anyone has experience with these firms and can let me know are they legit and should I get in touch with them?

Hey guys,

I have a degree in computer science and I've been programming since I was in high school, but the last 6 years I've been working in a different field, and do not feel very confident about working as a programmer in industry. I got an email the other day from this place called SyngergisticIT https://www.synergisticit.com/ and it looked like the right thing for me. They offer training and job placement help. However it is quite expensive. I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion about this place, or knows of a similar service that isn't so expensive. Also, any advice in general would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm a senior graduating this December, and I am not very good at all at CS. I love it but I suck at it. I haven't gotten any internships or done any big personal projects, but I have a broad exposure to a lot of different stacks and DBs and what not like a bit of react, SQL, etc. and some good projects on my resume but they are all school projects. Whenever I have been able to get internship interviews in the past, I always forget the terminology or vocabulary or whatever for the one particular thing they ask me about. I haven't made it to an OA or coding interview yet, but I always get dropped after the second stage when the first stage is the social/behavioral, and the second stage is talking with a CS person and them asking me quiz questions about theory and stuff like that.

In the current market the way it is, I don't really stand a chance at competing against the billions and billions and billions of boys & girls & men & women who are far better and more powerful than me. So I am considering giving all my money to one of the scam systems like SynergisticIT and those kinds of things.

I'm wondering, are there any statistics available on the number of people who went through with SynergisticIT and completed the program, but were still never able to get a job? I know the way it's set up they are incentivized to get me a job since when they do I'll have to pay them the rest of the money, but since I pay them upfront it also seems like they are also at least incentivized to take the initial payment, put me through the training, and then not end up getting me a job.

So im wondering if there is any data out there available on this

Not really asking for advice or info about them just thought this was funny. So I applied to them like a month ago, I think I used easy apply, without looking them up and realizing it's not a real job and they're trying recruit people to for a bootcamp or to take courses. I've received a couple of emails from them asking me to take courses with them and such but I haven't responded once I realized there's no job available. The most recent the person basically shit talked my resume (in a nice way) and telling me I need to take their course to be able to find work. Honestly he wasn't wrong about my resume, so at least I got some free advice from him but no way am I paying for whatever they're offering.

I was applying for jobs and i got an email from synergistic it, day later they called me. Telling me about this plan where i go through their training, and after that they apply me for jobs in thr fortune 500 companies. Catch is i need to pay 10k upfront and 15k payable once i have a job, which they said they would be providing. Any advice, thoughts, or inputs on this? Would really appreciate anything.

I am a fresh grad that is struggling to get a job. I applied to 100+ jobs with 2 interviews and both rejected. I recently got contacted by Synergistic IT. It seems like they are a boot camp + staffing firm and their program sounds a bit too good to be true. They train you for 5 months then get you Java and AWS certificates and guarantee you a job at a salary from 80k to 120k. The only downside is that I have to pay 10k upfront and 15k after they get me a job. This all seems a bit too good to be true and I am not sure if I am being scammed or not. Can anyone that has done their training or know anything about them tell me what their honest reviews of them are? I would really appreciate any input, thank you so much.

As the title states, they reached out and I’m thinking about it. Not very confident in the market rn to get a response anytime soon.

If anyone has experience or knows about their program please let me know :)

I was browsing through looking for CS jobs and came across SynergisticIT. I made the right decision to look them up and that turned out to be a great idea. I read the Google reviews and it seems like they are a coding bootcamp company making fake job listing to get more customers. They also insult their applicants by saying they are only offering them the bootcamp instead of a job because applicant is unqualified.

The person replying to these reviews responses is super unprofessional and sounds like someone out of Hotel Hell. You peeps should check out the google reviews yourself. It will be a very fun read.

I was just contacted by an employee (I assume) from synergistic IT, a company I applied to work in. However, they contacted me via message and only asked for my resume, as well as stating that they will contact me on another day. I was given some scam jobs recently because my data was probably leaked, so I’m a bit distrustful, so I searched anything about the person contacting me as they used a @synergisticit email, but the searches only came up with their profile on LinkedIn and her association with the company, and it showed that she was “actively looking for jobs”. I could not find any other information of them working for said company, so it’s making me wary. But at this point, I want to hold onto any string I can in search for a job.

So long story short, does this seem like another scam? Should I accept their contact or should I avoid it? Is there anyone who has experienced being contacted by Synergestic IT before (truly contacted and maybe even worked for them) and can tell me if this is legit or not? If it’s legit, what should I prepare for?

Thank you.

Anyone can help with this?

So i was looking at some old threads about FDM group , Synergisticit and Revature . I like other people have been contacted by them and wanted feedback on them.

I did my own research on each of them and contact alumni of some of them. Can anyone give additional feedback.

Points i took into consideration:

1. years in business—Revature 2003, Synergisticit 2009, FDM group 1991—so all companies have been around for some time

2. business model—

a) Revature—Free training and group accomodation and stipend around 8-10$/hr for training for 6-12 weeks on a mixed topics from java, javascript, c#.net and others (Total money paid $4800 for 12 weeks) but 2 year contract and pays 55-60k with their own clients and makes you bind to a 2 year contract to stay with Revature or pay 25000$ for early termination

b) Synergisticit—Paid training and mix of bootcamp and regular training. Training duration the longest amongst all- 5 months , 5 days a week. Their training cost is confusing but from what I understood total cost is 25k ..10k before start of training and rest 15k to be paid once I get a job and then I can pay in installments with no interest over 6-18 months. Job offers mentioned were from 80k to 110k with fortune 500 clients. Freedom to choose a client or change a client. Training focused on Java, Full stack development, angular, nodejs, spring

c) FDM group: Could not get more information but from what I learnt . Free training and group accommodation but 2 year contract and pays 55-60k with their own clients and makes you bind to a 2 year contract to stay with them or pay 30000$ for early termination. Training is on different topics like java, c#.net and other technologies

3) Track record of placements or alumni

a) Revature—Mixed or not much information ..some reviews and linkedin info has people complaining about they paying very less and being stuck in contracts for 2 years. Drop off rates seems to be high

b) Synergisticit—based on information some reviews and linked in responses. People have got jobs mostly contract jobs though at clients through some staffing partners and are getting paid close to the amount quoted by them. No information on drop off rate

c) FDM group—People seem to have got jobs but appears they enforce contracts and remuneration is low and they keep margins resulting in lower pay to us

As per my calculation if I stay with Revature for 2 years and get paid 120k +4800$+1500$ for accommodation I get paid 126,300 over 2 years.

FDM group I get paid 120,000 and again 2 year contract and pay 30k for contract violation

Synergisticit I pay 10000$ and rest I pay only if I get a job and in installments from my pay and if I get paid 80000 (lower end of their scale) first year and 2nd year I should get promoted as I will have 1 year experience and hopefully switch to another job I get 100k I make 180k .180 -25k ( 15k over a year in installments) =155k

Even though synergisticit is asking money upfront I am leaning towards it as I feel

1. I could verify with alumni that they got jobs even though contract

2. No contract binding me and freedom to choose from big clients is a big thing for me as my future growth depends on clients I choose I feel.

3. Training duration is the longest at synergisticit and I read good things about their training quality.

Other option for me is to keep trying myself and do self study on udemy and courserra and not join any of them. Its just I am scared and I have my friend and alumni go without jobs for a year trying on their own and I don’t want to be in the same boat.

I contacted staffing firms and other consulting firms and many are not interested due to lack of experience or they ask me to cook up a resume of 6-7 years fake experience which I don’t feel comfortable with.

After talking to more than 100 people and spending almost 2 months on my career decision I am confused and worried.

Can anyone contribute I don’t want to be wrong and I have student loans to repay and don’t want to pay 10k which leaves me without a job and poorer by 10k
