Pros

Niche areas of extraordinary operational excellence & innovation Tremendous business opportunity & growth, especially during positive economic times Amazing at mentoring, promoting, & training young professionals through leadership programs

Cons

Post IPO, the business truly stopped focusing on their customers, and company culture and values completely deteriorated. Very small # of top performers (2%) carry the workload for the vast majority. Woke labels were highly valued & promoted, but individuals were not. As a minority myself, I found this to be incredibly insulting to high performers of all races & genders. There was way too much tolerance for poor performance. I finally chose to leave after witnessing broad and ongoing ELT retaliation on dedicated, top performing middle managers, reps, & associates in multiple organizations who provided average to poor ratings on the supposedly anonymous "Great Places to Work" survey.

Pros

Great benefits. Sense of community is very strong. Lots of passion backing up the company. The company has their head in the right direction and has the ability to acquire some awesome clients.

Cons

Synchrony does not pay competitive wage for developers. Awful opportunities for professional development and promotion. No sense of mentorship. Imbalance of talent and expectations. Technology teams utilize "Agile", which is implemented more as a Waterfall-Agile hybrid.

Pros

Advancement Opportunity, Bonuses, Supportive Management

Cons

You will assimilate or you will not advance. If you do not join and actively support one of the pre-approved tribes within the company, you will not advance. It is not enough that you are tolerant of others and their beliefs, you have to choose at least one to be involved with. Of course, there's no group for straight, white men.
