Pros

I’ve been with Synack for over a year and continue to praise my decision to leave a large enterprise for a fast paced startup. Several things stand out: The work we do everyday has a direct impact to our customers’ success; Synack is a fertile ground for growing a career; team collaboration is strong -- we move fast and smart, learning as a team through success and failure; a management team that cares deeply about each team member; and the perks are great too, from catered food and weekly happy hours to gym membership and offsite team events.

Cons

With snacks ever present I've gained a few pounds - which is why I find the free gym membership handy.

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.
