Frequently
Asked Questions
Some common questions about Synygy India include:
What kind of people do you hire?
We look for the best of the best from industry and from
universities. Each year we hire graduates from schools
such as IITs, Symbiosis Management Schools, and other
leading engineering and management colleges under Pune
University like PIET (formally COEP), PICT, MIT, MESCO,
IMDR and SCMLD.
What are Synygy’s core values?
Our success is built upon a sustainable,
scalable business model and the hiring of exceptional
people who embrace our core values-Ownership, Professionalism,
Teamwork, Continuous Improvement, and Client Focus (OPTIC)
- which gives us the vision and focus to achieve our
mission.
How will my performance be measures? At the end of each quarter, you
meet with your mentor to set individual and team objectives
for the next quarter and assess your accomplishments
over the past quarter. In addition, your mentor and
your coworkers evaluate your performance along our five
core values and your job skills. We also measure client
satisfaction each quarter. For client-facing employees,
our clients provide individual assessments of performance.
Together, objective achievement, coworker evaluations,
and client satisfaction are how each employee's performance
is measured.
How is compensation structured? At Synygy, we practice what we
preach about pay for performance. The base pay of all
employees is broken into two parts: fixed base salary
paid monthly and variable base salary paid quarterly.
The variable component of base pay is linked to individual
performance measures. Most employees achieve their target
pay; however, people who do not meet expectations receive
less than their target and over achievers receive more
than their target.
How can I grow and contribute at Synygy? We've created an environment
that allows our employees to contribute and grow at
all levels within the organization. Your position will
be appropriate to your experience, and your mentor and
team members will work with you further to develop those
skills so you can grow and advance to the next level.
I know I am going to work hard, but
what do employees do together for fun? Throughout the year, Synygy sponsors
and encourages many employee activities. Our monthly
in-house "Herberts"—our name for a happy
hour—are very popular. Synygy also hosts annual
events, including a company-wide diversity fair in the
Spring, our Summer Solstice family “pycnyc”,
and our Winter Solstice party. In addition, many events
are initiated by our employees and posted to the Social
newsgroup on our Intranet such as cultural activities
and Synygy sports teams like volleyball, cricket, and
soccer.
Do you provide specific job training? We believe that learning occurs
by doing, and the company provides an extensive internal
training program, which covers topics such as business
communication, project management, process automation,
information design, and the use our software. In addition,
outside technical training (or other specialized training)
is provided to employees who need to increase their
skills to perform their job more effectively. Your mentor
will work with you to determine exactly what training
you will need.
