      No longer a place I'd recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are some people still there that will aim to make your experience welcoming and your time worthwhile,

      Cons

      After two rounds of layoffs and another handful of employees simply resigning, there aren't many of the above people left. Most of the remaining employees are either blindly following the c-suite's orders despite the negative outcomes they have already had for the company and the products or trapped there because for one reason or another they can't quit yet. There is no guarantee your work will be relevant in a months time. They are desperately pivoting around, seemingly discarding projects customers are still using in favor of chasing a handful of things where the specifics change monthly if not weekly.

      A Company in Decline

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The IC's and team members you'll work with are among the best and brightest I've ever had the great pleasure of working with. The culture on the team I worked with was highly collaborative, trusting, and rewarding to be a part of. The mission of Syndio is fundamentally to help eliminate equity issues in the workplace, which is a good cause to contribute to.

      Cons

      - Constant shifting priorities. The ratio of unfinished projects and unfulfilled promises to actual released products is quite bad. This can be very demoralizing to teams who put weeks and months of efforts into projects, only to be told to let them die on the vine. - Bottom-line at all costs mentality. As a venture-backed startup it is abundantly clear that generating ROI for investors is the actual goal of the company, all company values and mission statements be damned if they get in the way of this end. During my tenure at Syndio, I saw several rounds of layoffs which could have been avoided had management been more willing to commit and follow through with goals and stop pivoting to new objectives every few weeks. - Fear-based decision making. Upper management always seems to be on a back foot and makes decisions from a position of fear and not one of strength. When employees ask earnest, hard-hitting questions (not in accusatory or hostile tones) in All-Hands and Q&A sessions upper management always avoids answering directly and succinctly; sounding more like sketchy politicians than competent professionals. "The wicked flee when no man pursueth".

      Sinking ship

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
