Pros

Good Benefits, Good PTO, Good life balance not much work, if that's for you.

Cons

They talk and do lot of programs for Diversity and Inclusion, but you can get mocked for accent/looks on internal sites but nobody raises issue. And also during team meetings/events, they do not consider vegetarians. Multiple times they did not have vegetarian options, i have seen people continuing in meetings without proper lunch. You should not complain if you do not have enough work. Manager would threaten to put you in performance improvement program. Out of 2 years, i would have had 40hrs/week work maybe for 6-8 months. Top management seems to try something new, but middle level they still have old GE mentality and they do not foster good culture. Everyone afraid of failure, how does innovation comes from that? Every one is ready to point at if something goes wrong even before fixing it. People suggests to create dependency on you, and they are the ones who get appreciated and promoted. You can see politics in this company at every level, are equal or more but not less than DC Politics.

Pros

*I have met some exceptionally lovely people. *There is a lot of opportunities to move around as the company is so large, enabling people to grow out of and into new parts of the company. *Depending on how you look at it, but from a tech and design standpoint, the products are remarkably behind, so it can be fun to work towards turning things around as they can only get better.

Cons

* This has been the most unorganized, bureaucratic, non-employee centric company I have ever been a part of. I believe that there is a ton of well-intentioned, but the execution is the opposite. For example, the company will talk about employee well being and promoting equality and generally have friendly marketing towards employees. * The benefits, like many things, look awesome on paper, but when its time to collect any benefit. ANY. It is the most painful, heartbreaking, and frustrating experience. Their Human Resource department lacks all human to it. It is really bad and makes me wonder how it all stays afloat.

Pros

I was a long time GE employee which was a great company to work for, and was able to see Synchrony split from. GE and become a public company in 2014

Cons

The culture at Synchrony was completely different from. GE.. There didn't seem to be any work like balance with Synchrony.
