Pros

You'll definitely sharpen your political skills by working here because that's the only way to get anything done. Then you can take those skills to a legitimate company.

Cons

Make no mistake, this company has made a recent campaign to flood Glassdoor, G2 Crowd, etc with positive reviews to crowd out all the ones that called it (somewhat rightfully) a scam. The product is vaporware because the CEO only cares about presenting the right image to funders, not about actually having a functioning product or happy clients. Salespeople are encouraged to lie to secure larger up front contracts because every knows it's a race to get as much revenue as possible before the client inevitably churns. The employees who fight dirty and suck up win their petty battles, the ones who actually care burn out, and at the end of the day nothing gets done. The only reason this company is not successful is because of shockingly inept management.

Synup Response

Hi there and thank you for your candid feedback on your experience at Synup. In the past, we have encouraged employees to review our workplace on Glassdoor. This was not done to gather positive reviews, but rather to understand employee experience in a space where they can be anonymous, just as you have done. We appreciate feedback, whether it is positive or negative. Additionally, G2 does an independent internal review audit. Any one who reviews on that platform needs to be qualified and approved by their team to avoid fake reviews. Our product team and engineers work tirelessly to develop a product worthy of investment to market to our customers. This ties directly into the work our sales team does to create awareness and excitement amongst our current and potential customer-base. However, if you have been asked to lie by someone in management, we take that very seriously and encourage you to please reach out to us to discuss this by emailing peopleops.usa@synup.com. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

The team is great, the product is straightforward, and there's room for career growth. The company also has solid financials; consistently profitable and not relying on investor funds at this point

Cons

Engineering turnaround is prohibitively slow at times, and product frequently has issues, making the customer relationship more difficult to manage. Company culture could be stronger
