The ideal new employee for Synchronicity is already familiar with design tools and advanced electronic design, and also with Web-based systems and architectures. But that s asking a great deal, and Lorenzo admits that new hires have come from both sides of the equation. Most applicants, she says, have degrees in computer science with a focus on electrical engineering. Others offer Web-based technology as their main experience. To accommodate the clever techies that make up the bulk of its staff, Synchronicity offers a lot of flexibility.
Employees can work from home, in the office, or both.
Most of them can work in the office during the hours that fit best with their workstyle, including the middle of the night. Our main headquarters building in Marlboro looks like a ski lodge, Lorenzo notes. It promotes a fun environment where people like to hang out. Of course the dress code is down-home casual. Even the VPs wear jeans just like everyone else, Lorenzo reports.
