Pros

Genuinely an incredible mission and the product is robust. The company has a group of incredible, intelligent and hard working folks who truly are dedicated and a joy to work with. Compensation is very strong in terms of salary.

Cons

The leadership here are fictional leaders pretending they know what they are doing. They've had an ex employment lawyer leading sales (he does NOT know what he is doing), a data geek leading CS, a marketing person leading product....so many leaders doing things they've never done before and its created a chaotic company. This has played out in SO many ways. The goals of the company are changing monthly (weekly?), they hire/fire leaders (usually only the females ones because the CEO can't work with other woman leaders), there is a cockiness/lack of awareness that is pervasive at the top here. If you are lured in by the awesome mission of this company, turn around and look elsewhere. You will not like working here nor will it advance your career. Incredibly frustrating place to work at with little to no reward. Also - HR team is led by someone who serves at the bequest of the leadership and does not have the employees best interest at heart. Working here is like working at a circus.

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

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.
