We have employees in the United States and Canada.

Typically 3-4 weeks. It depends on availability (yours and ours).

In every process, you'll speak with our talent lead, the hiring manager, and at least one of our executives. It's also likely that you'll participate in a panel interview that includes 1-2 other employees that have a vested interest in the role you applied for.

Absolutely! We'd be happy to introduce you.

Synex is an early stage startup. You can expect day-to-day operations to be a little different than a larger company! Priorities, workload, and even projects can change very quickly. Flexibility and comfort navigating some level of ambiguity are crucial to success at Synex. If you prefer a role with a lot of structure and consistency, joining Synex at this stage may not be the right fit for you. While we do provide guidance, opportunities to learn, and financial assistance for training and certifications, we don't offer comprehensive, on-the-job instruction just yet.

We are open to sponsoring work visas in Canada in some circumstances. We do not sponsor visas in the United States at this time.

In general, we are as supportive of remote work as possible. We recognize that people don't always need to be physically present in an office environment to produce their best work. For fully remote work, we provide all the tools and technology you need to complete your work and collaborate with your team.
That being said, some roles - especially those that are hardware focused, for example - are difficult to do remotely. This means that each of our roles will require more of an in-office presence than others.
Meetings are typically held within the traditional 8-5pm EST work day. Beyond that, as long as you remain accountable to their team and manager, we encourage you to adjust your schedule to make it work for you.

It depends on your role. Most of our roles do not have travel requirements at this time. However, as a distributed team, we do like to get everyone together when we can - so we will offer optional travel opportunities to our headquarters in Toronto and Boston.

We do! If you'd like to move closer to one of our offices, we offer $5,000 to help cover your costs.

We provide you with a laptop and other necessary accessories (second monitor, wireless keyboard, etc). If you're not located near our Toronto office, we'll ship everything to you before your first day!

We use Slack for day-to-day communications, as well as Google Meets for video calls and Gmail for email. We also use Confluence and Jira to collaborate on projects and documentation!

We recognize that performance reviews and conversations around advancement can be stressful. With that in mind, we’ve tried to create a holistic, person-first process that feels intentional and empowering. Conversations between managers and leadership about salary and advancement happen twice a year, but we encourage employees to initiate conversations around career progression with their managers whenever they'd like to.
