Pros

Recently Synack experienced transitions in key executive positions that has allowed the company to examine the business, reset operationally, and make the budget and staffing decisions needed to better position the company for continued success. The people are smart and collaborative. Teams are continually pushing for strategic alignment, despite the challenges of being remote. And as one of the longer-tenured employees, I have tremendous respect for our founders. If you want to be a part of a start-up that is working towards a successful exit and has the momentum of -re-prioritizing engineering -sales and product led growth -accountable and data-driven marketing -and a great customer-base (take it from someone who lives in the CRM) …then Synack is a fit for you.

Cons

401k matching would be nice!

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.
