Pros

The mission and product are amazing. Who wouldn’t get behind pay and opportunity equity? So it’s a cool opportunity to work for a company that aligns with your values. Benefits are good, and the pay is pretty decent. But believe me, you pay for it in other ways.

Cons

Honestly, the review from March 29, 2024 couldn’t have said it better. The leadership is so unstable and it causes a really toxic culture throughout the company. They set completely unrealistic goals, they move the target every week, and they never seem to know how to address the ACTUAL problems in the company strategy. They just don’t know what they’re doing. They tout the fact that they focus on “potential” and transferrable skills vs experience in that exact role. But when you’re talking about executive level roles at a startup that’s struggling to grow, you need experience. You can’t have a C-suite full of people that have never done their job before. And whenever they hire experienced leaders, those people don’t last long because they challenge the existing leaders and rock the boat. Overall, the culture is incredibly toxic. And you better not count on HR to do anything about it or have your back. HR is unfortunately just a pawn in the CEO’s game at this point. While it’s unfortunate to say because the product is so great, I would never recommend working here.

Thank you for your feedback. At Syndio, we value Candor, Trust, and Relentless Pursuit, and I appreciate your perspective to help us improve. While some leaders may have taken on new roles without direct prior experience, our strategy early on was to leverage transferrable skills and industry knowledge to help us create a new category. With these leaders in place, we achieved significant milestones, including selling to large enterprises, building a diverse customer base, and achieving an NPS of 83 with best-in-class customer retention. Currently, every functional leader has prior experience in their role, and we’re committed to bringing in experienced talent across all functions to further strengthen our team. We also continuously gather and act upon feedback from our team to improve our employee’s experience. We wish you success in your future endeavors. Maria Colacurcio, CEO

Pros

Syndio has a strong mission, talented people, and a culture built around collaboration and respect. There is a real opportunity to help define an emerging category, which makes the work feel meaningful and impactful. People care deeply about customers, and there is a willingness to invest in new ideas and challenge conventional thinking.

Cons

Like many growth-stage companies, priorities can shift quickly as the business evolves. Balancing long-term product investments with near-term growth objectives can create changing priorities and occasional ambiguity. Success requires comfort with change and a willingness to adapt.

Pros

The ranks are full of smart, kind people doing their best. Access to modern AI engineering tooling.

Cons

Fickle leadership. Chasing a new shiny thing after selling something else (that still isn't finished). Constant restructuring – there are leadership changes every month. Poor execution. Ship dates slip again and again without reflection or retrospectives. Delusional positivity from leaders in the face of a failing business. Flooded with AI slop. Celebrates churning out AI-generated documents that no one reads. Lack of transparency. Leadership is secretive with important information (financials, operations, staffing changes). A large influx of people with prior relationships has worsened this.
