At Synex, our work culture is defined by a blend of ambitious goals, intense passion for our mission, and a deep commitment to the well-being of our employees. We encourage our team to set ambitious goals and provide the autonomy needed to achieve them.

While achieving significant milestones can require extra effort and collaboration at times, we also prioritize rest and self-care to maintain our team’s well-being. Our policies and practices encourage taking time for personal and family commitments, ensuring that our employees can maintain a fulfilling life outside of work.

Developing strong social connections helps tie us together even when we are located in different places. Routinely, we meet in our regional offices for paid company lunches, learning sessions and social events.

Transparency and ethical standards are also foundational to how we operate. We collaborate with external partners from academia and industry to review and provide feedback on our work, ensuring scientific rigor and accountability. Internally, we promote psychological safety through regular check-ins with employees, anonymous surveys, and multiple avenues for reporting concerns, including an online reporting tool. These measures foster a supportive and open environment where employees feel safe to voice their concerns and contribute to the company’s success.

Building towards a predictive healthcare future starts with our team. We are dedicated to offering a strong benefits package which will improve as Synex expands. We currently offer:

→ Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance: We cover 100% of the premiums for our employees. Coverage for partners and dependents varies based on location and plan.

→ Flexible Time Off: We don’t place annual limits on vacation and sick days, and we require that you take at least 3 weeks of vacation each year (not counting company holidays!).

→ Parental Leave: We provide 6 months of fully paid leave for all parents—whether you’re a birthing, non-birthing, or adoptive parent.
