Pros

Cybersecurity is HOT that presents a huge opportunity for disruption. Synack has found the right pulse in the space with a truly innovative product that customers love. In terms of culture, people are super nice, driven and smart. It feels like a family with shared vision to deliver the best. The company also has hired an experienced leadership team with good chemistry which helps the company navigate through the growth phase thoughtfully. Company's co-founders and leadership team is very open to feedback and always tuned in when it comes to improving and doing things better. In terms of perks, typical startup stuff. Office is tucked away in redwood city with a tiny SF office. As a shareholder can't complain since we don't have to pay outrageous rent in city. Cherry on top..top tier investors and a board that is highly respected externally and internally. Overall Synack has been a fulfilling experience and consider myself fortunate to be part of the company

Cons

Typical growing pains with startups but no deal breakers as such. As the company grows connectivity across teams can be light.

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...
