Pros

Best company I have ever worked for in an interesting industry. -Welcoming atmosphere, from the onboarding process to the employees -Continuous Improvement: People are always looking to improve the internal and external experience and coming up with solutions and plans to make things happen. -Regular management feedback, letting employees know what is going on, what's in the pipeline, any challenges or opportunities. -Good compensation package. -Progression opportunities. -Fully remote. -Good product offering...

Cons

-...while the products are good, they are not perfect. There are still ways that it can be improved all around - but the company is young and the same can be said for most companies/products. So not strictly a con but more of an observation. -A big part of the issues that people across the company experience stem from the customer side, such as making sure Synack personel and the SRT have the relevant access, permissions, quick channels of communication etc. This can be frustrating as no matter how hard people work and prepare, how good the product is, a test can still run badly with complaints from the customer. It can feel disheartening that a big part of the success will always be out of your hands. Again, not directly a con but something to be aware of given the business model.

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.
