Pros

Great culture — kind, fun, smart people; remote first with regular meetups in “hub” cities. Decent pay. Meaningful mission that makes the world better. Leadership is fairly open with people

Cons

Layoffs, a TON of tech debt and lacking processes that can make day to day development work frustrating. Lack of tech infrastructure means a lot of time wasted

Pros

I have been at Syndio for 2.5 years and over that time have witnessed growth and speed bumps. The north star of every day always comes back to the work that myself and colleagues are engaged in -- closing pay gaps and putting hundreds of millions of dollars back into the pockets of people that otherwise were underpaid due to race, gender, or inconsistently applied pay and opportunity practices. Knowing that at the end of the day, I am helping organizations across the globe close pay gaps is tremendously gratifying . Like any company, employees and leaders grow together and I have witnessed a new found energy of leaders digging in and listening to customers for any and all feedback as well setting up feedback sessions to hear from employees across the organization. We have very high customer devotion (NPS is one of the best in the industry) and know our product and services are cutting edge. We have observed other companies copy what we have put out into the market, which is a good sign that we are building what people want and the leader in the marketplace. The people at Syndio all rally around the mission and leaders are leaning in and cultivating strong feedback loops that are essential for continued growth.

Cons

We have a big mission and it is easy to get distracted at times on shiny new objects. Focus is key to success.

Run the other way

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
