Pros
After first learning of Synack, I was intrigued by the company's vision, mission, and the impressive traction they had gained for a relatively young company. Upon my first visit to Synack HQ down in Redwood City, I was sold. The people, the passion, the culture, the workplace, the cohesiveness, and the challenge of both a new role and industry focus, made the switch from the corporate world to the early-stage, high-growth environment of Synack a no-brainer. Pros - Never a dull day at Synack, challenging environment allowing you to contribute from day one - Top-tier TALENT- daily collaboration with the brilliant, diverse individuals you're surrounded by - Exciting, dynamically changing industry and a product that everyone here at Synack believes in - Fast-paced, high-growth environment - Friendly, enjoyable, entertaining office culture - Phenomenal benefits/perks First time I can honestly say that I ENJOY going to work each day.
Cons
Commuting from SF to Redwood City (partly my fault). Rush hour on US 101 is a battle that you just can't win. Take advantage of the free gym membership, events, rec leagues, etc. to avoid the worst traffic times. The opportunity is well worth the commute; I would never let a commute keep me from doing what I love, and we did just open an office in SF...
