Synchrony runs two visibly different hiring loops. Corporate and campus roles out of Stamford (leadership programs, finance analyst, credit risk, data analytics) are overwhelmingly behavioral: a recruiter or campus screen, then one or more 1:1 conversations with senior leaders, with at most a light business-strategy or market-sizing case at the end. The high-volume call-center side (customer service, credit services, fraud) is a short funnel instead: an online assessment gate, a brief scripted phone interview, then an on-site interview with a hiring manager (sometimes with a serving rep sitting in) built around customer-handling scenarios, followed by background check, job-history verification, drug test and fingerprinting before a training class start date.
