Pros

Team oriented. Most people will go the extra step to help you out.

Cons

Career advancement sometimes seems to be more of who you know, not what you know/what you've accomplished.

Pros

- strong culture - good work life balance - passionate about business - nice offices - great people - shuttle to train and NYC

Cons

Need to differentiate on bonus. The move to levels only benefited EB+ population - and that group got increases big bonus' and equity. Nothing changed for anyone else except a level / no bonus differentiation between 12, 13, 14. Not competitive or motivating comp structure - HR leader only focuses on 15+ and there is no path to get there. Change your bonus structures at other levels or expect attrition. The vibe is not positive in compensation. And new benefits (tuition reimbursement ) have been difficult - and no communication. The HR department needs to wake up.

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.
