Pros

There's a lot of excitement around the new company, optimism in the teams, and a great opportunity to reshape our company culture. Leadership hasn't been afraid to change out management to end the 'old way' of doing things, and change our processes to do right by our employees and our customers. Jen Cole is a genuine, empathetic person, and a brilliant leader. Amazing flexibility, support, and transparency particularly during the covid-19 pandemic. After a survey about returning to the office showed the majority of employees wanted the option to work remotely even when offices open back up, leadership listened and made that change. Employee resource groups are active for PRIDE, Black Voices, and Women in Tech and a diversity advisory board meets quarterly with leadership to impact change from the top.

Cons

There's a lot of change, which keeps it exciting but also a little exhausting.

Thank you for leaving a review about your experience at Sincro. We really appreciate your kind words and your contributions to the company. As you mention, there is a lot of excitement about the new company and the opportunity to chart our own future where employees have a strong voice. Our Idea-A-Thon event empowers team members to share thoughts they want to turn into reality to improve our company. The employee resource groups were an Idea-A-Thon initiative that has built important awareness about diversity and inclusion. When team members talk, we listen. Employees said they loved working from home, so we shifted to a distributed workforce. Employees said they wanted more work/life balance, so we brought in a flexible PTO policy. Changing policies to do right by our team is a cherished part of Sincro culture. Our leader Jen Cole sets an incredible tone for Sincro in terms of transparency, support, and respect. She genuinely leads by example, launching a new company amidst incredibly challenging times. We are committed to sharpening our focus with a new mission and values so team members have a constant North Star to follow.

Pros

Great benefits and unlimited/flexible PTO

Cons

Workload expectations were unsustainable. To meet the basic requirements of my role, I regularly worked 50–70 hours per week. While the company offered flexible PTO, there was little meaningful coverage when employees were out, often resulting in even more work upon return. Frequent layoffs and ongoing staff reductions meant existing clients were repeatedly reassigned from departing employees to the remaining team members, further increasing workloads and making it harder to provide the level of service clients deserved. As responsibilities grew, client escalations became increasingly common, and support from leadership during those situations was inconsistent. The moment that best captured the disconnect between leadership and employee reality was a company training on having a "growth mindset" that included the message, "It's not bandwidth. It's mindset." For employees already struggling with excessive workloads and burnout, this felt dismissive of legitimate capacity concerns. The culture ultimately led to significant burnout, high stress, and declining morale. The company has talented employees and clients, but leadership would benefit from addressing workload management, staffing levels, accountability, and employee well-being before focusing on mindset and productivity initiatives.
