Syngenta reviews

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...

- Syngenta is a company that talks A LOT about everything. However, they do not follow through on any of the talk. - TERRIBLE HIRING PRACTICES! Syngenta consistently violates its own Inclusive Recruiting and Hiring training as provided on LearningEdge. Additionally, the hiring process is slow and unintuitive - both internally and externally. No care given to candidate experience. Little internal mobility. - Syngenta fears change and cannot commit to decisions without the glacially slow process of decision by committee (a.k.a. Basel). GLT is far removed from the true needs and conditions of the employees. They don't care, but their egos are horrendous. - Support Functions are given very little value due to not being "customer facing". It's a sad day when a HRBP for an entire function and several organizations makes less than a sales representative. - No training provided to managers on how to be managers. Lots of "tips and tricks," but the reality is that folks here are unprepared to manage people. A hardworking IC gets promoted to line manager without any foundational support. - No internal competency training and very little company pride. - Bottom line - Syngenta doesn't actually care about its people.
