      Pros

      Great people who go out of their way to help you. Very digitally advanced from a bank standpoint and open to try new things. Operates laterally and very open to feedback and allows everyone to be leaders in their projects. Great benefits and work from home policy. They truly value and trust their employees.

      Cons

      Could use more structure in terms of multiple team interactions.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you do now.

      I have been working at Synchrony full-time

      Pros

      1. Decent Pay 2. Good office locations 3. Good office environment and workspaces 4. Decent at offering training and travel opportunities for employees 5. Internal mobility seems pretty good at least for lateral transfers.

      Cons

      1. Work-life balance is not balanced within the company. A lot of people coast until they can get into a central function because the client-facing jobs (revenue-generating) tend to be stressful. 2. Client-first mentality comes at the expense of Synchrony's employees - as long as client is happy no one cares that you are suffering. 3. Poor leadership, especially with mid-level managers. 4. Poor technology in analytics...

      Advice to Management

      Synchrony claims to be innovative but it is not. The technology is poor. Processes are poor. Analytics is poor. There is too much lazy thinking and complacency caused by good times. This company really needs to be put in the fire and have a genuine business crisis. That way they will be refined with the bad junk burned off or they will fail.

      Former Employee - Assistant Vice President in Hyderābād
      Doesn't Recommend
      Negative Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Synchrony full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      With a GE heritage, Synchrony started well. The CEO is amazingly energetic. The focus is always on engagement and leadership in US is very well connected. Carrying on with the same GE culture. Hired highly talented folks at all level during the carve-out. In India, its a great working experience for the Associates who are taking calls.

      Cons

      It is a different experience altogether to work in its India office though for senior level folks. Kind of political and closed environment. Not much hiring talent from the market at the senior level (may be coz of insecurity). One needs to learn the art of managing perceptions by treating US leadership with 5 star arrangements while they are in India.

      Advice to Management

      Hire competent talent from the market and break the silo (of CEO and his close associates)
