Some common questions about Synygy include:
What kind of people do you
hire?
We’ve found that smart people like working with
other smart people, and it’s not easy to get a
job at Synygy Europa because we hire only the best.
Our company is comprised of innovative, energetic, hard
working people from diverse cultural backgrounds. We

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 measured?
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 Europa, 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.
