Sysomos Reviews

Pros

One of the best things about Sysomos is that everyone is pulling together toward a common goal and vision. In addition, the culture encourages everyone to speak up and for people to listen and take action. Its a very exciting environment comprised of very talented people that work as a team.

Cons

It's a very competitive industry. Takes hard work and commitment to succeed. Not a place for faint of heart.

Pros

Loved working with smart, fun team in SF office. Great perks and good base salary.

Cons

The management was divided and eventually Bay Area team was forced out. Soon after the entire product and dev teams were let go.

Pros

Smart people. Fun work space

Cons

Senior management is extremely unstable. Company culture is confusing. This company has no respect for its employees. Poor product roadmap and career development plans.

Pros

some very smart and dedicated employees - who are there to do the right thing (but unable to due to management incompetence)

Cons

zero vision or strategic thinking driving company. management mistakes "activity" for progress CEO is an ego maniac - and micromanages extremely tactical details that add zero value to the company vs. focusing on strategic leadership of the company. penny wise and pound foolish. Inexperienced senior management team Raleigh office feels very Trump-y.

Pros

Flexible working hours especially in Sunnyvale, Toronto. No pressure work environment

Cons

Lack of stability in senior leadership. 3 CEOs in as many years. Lack of product stability and direction, HR practices are very questionable. Be very careful when obtaining commitments.

Pros

The people are good-hearted and the general employee is friendly and willing to work together and help build a good place to work.

Cons

Big executive shake-up in 2016 drastically reduced the vision of the company to a more pedestrian social media company without the big-company potential. They seem to be really good at extracting above average work from average people.

Pros

New leadership team is focused and driven to succeed. They care about employee's career. I feel respected and enjoy my colleagues and management. Work is challenging but fun.

Cons

The last year was frustrating under previous leadership and it has put our company behind. Everyone is working hard but sometimes it is tough to always be pushing hard to catch up.
