- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?Synacor does awesomely-fun activities like an annual Hackathon, office-festivities like pi-day, and my favorite bi-weekly "DevTricks" where we get pizza/wings and listen to 3 developers present on their favorite topic! The environment is very collaborative and i've learned a ton from great people!
Constructive Feedback From Synacor Employees
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?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.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Synacor, on average, pays far below the industry standard for the Buffalo area. The pay gap between male and female devs is extreme.
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?There're good people but also a lot of people who are misogynist, transphobic, or just generally unpleasant for non-white/non-male.
