Pros

I have been with Synack for a little over a month now and have truly enjoyed coming into work everyday. The people I work with are the best at what they do, are extremely motivated, and insanely intelligent. At the same time, though, they all know how to let loose and have a good time (especially during our weekly happy hours over some ping pong, foosball, and board games). We also have a very open working space which helps foster collaboration between various teams and everyone is extremely approachable and willing to lend a helping hand or explain a complex concept until you fully understand what's going on, including management and leadership. Some of the extra perks like catered meals, a stocked snack bar, and an onsite gym with basketball court and swimming pool are just the cherries on top of it all.

Cons

Thus far, the only downside of working at Synack for me has been the commute, but with the flexibility and understanding nature of our leadership, and my manager in particular, it hasn't even been an issue.

Pros

Pay was good and unlimited PTO

Cons

In my experience, there were consistent challenges related to leadership communication, clarity of vision, and transparency in decision making. Changes were often made with limited context provided to employees, which made it difficult to feel aligned with the direction of the organization. Decisions affecting teams appeared unclear or not well explained, contributing to uncertainty and reduced confidence in leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We genuinely value hearing from current and former team members - it helps us grow as an organization. Transparency, clear communication, and making employees feel informed and valued are areas we take seriously. We've made meaningful investments here, including more structured all-hands updates and dedicated channels for recognizing team contributions, but we know there is always more work to do. We recognize that changes without sufficient context can create uncertainty, and that's not the environment we want to build. Feedback like this helps us stay accountable to that standard. Our door is open, and we hope anyone with specific experiences or suggestions will feel encouraged to share them directly with leadership or through our internal feedback channels. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you well.
