Pros

Synack employs some of the most talented technical people I’ve ever worked with. The company actively fosters a supportive and collaborative community where everyone has a valuable opinion and the chance to develop and implement their own ideas. Synack has seamlessly adapted to the remote working requirements of the last year and many of my virtual colleagues are now my virtual friends too. Synack are at the cutting edge of the IT security market and continue to develop in new exciting ways. Although fast paced, the work is fun and challenges you to learn and contribute something new every day.

Cons

As the company transition from start-up to upscale, it remains to be seen if the culture will endure or become bogged down in the usual corporate drudgery that afflicts most larger organisations, although initial signs are good. There is still a lot to be done on some of the backend systems to scale effectively which although a con to users, is a major pro for those involved in developing new offerings.

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.
