Synchrony is great for posting actual jobs they want to fill, which is rare nowadays. Their interview process, though, is a bit unpolished. Some recruiters tend to disappear, and hiring managers might not have a clear idea of what they need. For example, one hiring manager asked about skills totally unrelated to the job description, like investor relations, SQL, and SAS, making it seem like they were figuring out the role as they went.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Could you describe your experience with SQL and SAS?
  • Can you tell me about your background in investor relations?
  • What would you consider your biggest strengths?

It was a casual, stress-free process. A decent GPA and some work experience were required, along with a willingness to learn. I applied on Handshake and had a thirty-minute interview with two people, which went well.
