Synacor Engineering Department Employee Reviews

I love working at synacor.

Review from Engineering Dept

Synacor is a fun place where we get things done. Not fun like "we have foosball tables!" Real fun.

Review from Engineering Dept

I work with the best of people and do interesting things.

Review from Engineering Dept

There are a few excellent players pulling everyone up. There are little to no negative players.

Review from Engineering Dept

As an engineer, I'm impressed with how knowledgeable about engineering the senior management is. I feel like a valued team member who delivers business results, not an asset to be expended to make a couple of things. Even the CEO knows what I do and how things work!

Review from Engineering Dept

Very available should you need to reach out to them. They also visit remote offices quite often.

Review from Engineering Dept

The middle managers are typically the best of people who are in the trenches with you.

Review from Engineering Dept

The leadership team are practically ghosts in the office. You never see them or talk to them beyond your direct manager and maybe his boss.

Review from Engineering Dept

Generous time off policy with out the stigma. Reasonably health/dental benefits.

Review from Engineering Dept

My favorite part of the compensation at Synacor is their health plan. It's well above those that I'm used to at smaller companies, in terms of both coverage and access.

Review from Engineering Dept

Very competitive pay, even for an area known for having to adjust for a much higher cost of living.

Review from Engineering Dept

I'm quite happy with my compensation package.

Review from Engineering Dept

Synacor, on average, pays far below the industry standard for the Buffalo area. The pay gap between male and female devs is extreme.

Review from Engineering Dept

Excellent set of coworkers with vast knowledge and experience who are always willing to help others.

Review from Engineering Dept

Teams at Synacor vary, but the group of people I work with every day are simply awesome. I learn from them constantly, and they challenge me to be better.

Review from Engineering Dept

There're good people but also a lot of people who are misogynist, transphobic, or just generally unpleasant for non-white/non-male.

Review from Engineering Dept

Open mindedness and knowledge sharing. Those who know are willing to teach, those who do not are willing to learn.

Review from Engineering Dept

Synacor has a very realistic environment. We have realistic goals and realistic timetables with realistic resources to get things done. We aren't slow but we also don't work 100-hour weeks to get yet another thing done too fast with tool little. Realism also leads to quality.

Review from Engineering Dept

You get to work on cool things here, but you'll never feel like "If I don't finish this project by X date I think I'm going to get fired...".

Review from Engineering Dept

Synacor cares about employee growth. Conferences, hackathons, and weekly get-togethers to show off cool things are happening.

Review from Engineering Dept

There's no team building. Everything is silo'd and cut off. No company culture.

Review from Engineering Dept

There are always problems to be solved and they are rarely each the same.

Review from Engineering Dept

I like being at a company where everyone's trying to help everyone else succeed. I've never reached out to someone at another team who hasn't gone out of their way to educate me, give me the information or resources I need, and been happy to talk to me again.

Review from Engineering Dept

The people I work with are incredible. I get to work with the technology stack I love.
