Great company to work for

Pros

The people that work at Syndio are amazing. The smartest and the most hard working you’ll ever work with. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Company’s mission is very encouraging. I learned so much while working at Syndio. The compensation is really good and the health benefits are top notch. Remote work is the best and I feel like work life balance is optimal. I think our management does a great job of overseeing our work but not micromanaging.

Cons

Company is restructuring while trying to maintain its original core mission

Death spiral

Pros

In the US, they pay really good salaries. Health plans are top notch. Sadly most job listings are now in Canada because it's cheaper.

Cons

One of the fastest death spirals I've ever seen at a startup. Any sane leadership voices were pushed out by AI sycophants. The company is clearly bleeding cash and cutting costs by doing waves of layoffs. This used to be a great company to work for, but that ship has sailed. Just stay away.

Sinking ship

Pros

1. Great people worked there, but a lot of them have left or been laid off 2. Pay was decent 3. Cool off sites (but leadership talked about the exorbitant cost of one in an all hands after immediately laying off the entire QA team, so maybe that’s not a pro)

Cons

1. Their mission has seemingly gone from creating fair and equitable workplaces to how the software can help you cut compensation costs (aka pay people less) 2. They’ve laid off 40 people this year so they’re left with a skeleton crew to support all existing products and build a new product 3. In their journey to become an AI-first company, they just forced tools onto employees and it appears that they actively monitor usage. They’re hyped on AI for the sake of AI without being focused on solving problems 4. The company has a new initiative every week that’s the company’s “top priority” and doesn’t follow through on any of them 5. Most of leadership communications read exactly like they were written by ChatGPT with no authenticity 6. The company seems like it’s flailing. Competitors have caught up and passed them. They have no clue or focus, so they end up prioritizing what sounds cool instead of what customers actually want 7. Leadership takes zero responsibility for the mess they’ve created

We’re sorry to hear this. Feedback like this is hard to read, and we don’t take it lightly. We’re grateful you highlighted the great people at Syndio. We couldn’t agree more. The past year has brought significant and difficult change, including the departure of valued team members. These were challenging decisions to position the company for the long-term. Our legacy of helping customers build fair and equitable workplaces hasn’t gone away, but how we deliver that is evolving. As we integrate new technologies and reshape our products, we’re striving to balance innovation with intention, staying closely connected to what our customers need most.
