Good learning environment, but compensation and processes need improvement - Lead Software Engineer Synechron Employee Review

good team dynamics within synechron

Sometimes client teams can be hard to work with

Initial offer allowed flexibility to work from my base location. Good clients.

Hire and fire culture. Very short bench policy (around 15 days or even less than that) to find a new internal project. Limited project allocation support while on the bench. Poor workforce planning and role stability. No job security during budget changes. My experience with Synechron was extremely disappointing. I left a stable offer to join this company because work was good , I was promised the opportunity to work from my base location. I started my role with high expectations only to receive an email a few weeks later stating that my position was being eliminated due to budget issues. I was placed on the bench and informed that I had about 10–15 days to find another internal project. This happened during the holiday season (Christmas to New Year), when hiring activity is naturally very slow. Realistically, it is extremely difficult to secure a new project within such a short window especially during year-end. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, there were no suitable projects available within the given timeframe and I was released from the company. It was a stressful and frustrating experience. Imagine leaving a good offer to join a company for stability only to end up back at square one within 2 months. In my personal experience, workforce planning and employee security were major concerns. I would strongly advise candidates to fully understand the bench policy and project pipeline before making a decision. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
