Pros

A wonderful, dedicated, and professional group of people to work with. The management values and promotes employees who demonstrate commitment and solid performance. After starting at the bottom of the totem pole, as expected, I was able to work my way up to higher status, pay, and great additional benefits.

Cons

Starting at minimum wage, although the management was very punctual and professional with raises

Pros

This experience is regarding the Global Delivery Center of Syngenta that is in Baner, Pune. I was recruited in Syngenta through Randstad recruiting consultants like all others. Salary hike is decent.

Cons

Job profile that was advertised and promised is completely different than the actual work. Ex: People recruited as Service Delivery Mgrs. are doing the job of Incident managers. Company and Randstad made a lot of false promises. Ex: There was no mention of shift work, yet ppl are being forced to come in shifts. Variable pay is 15 to 25% of the pay depending on employee and the history of payouts has been very dismal. I along with others were told that they have paid close to 100% of the variable. There is little or no growth. It is a very flat organization and chances of promotion are slim to none. In general, if you are career minded and like challenging environment, like occassional business travel, want to learn something new...this is NOT the company. Stay away from Syngenta, Baner, Pune...

Pros

God worklife balance and benefits although pay is not great, great corporate culture and values. Make you feels like you're really making a difference with your work.

Cons

Not the best professionals around, Syngenta is a slow and conservative company. If you are looking for fast track learning to build your profile you should probably look elsewhere.
