Opportunity
Although far from being a start-up, Sybase incorporates many of the best elements of the entrepreneurial experience while avoiding its excesses. For example, the company is organized around a flat management architecture that keeps bureaucracy to a minimum. We look for and reward excellence at every level, and we place a premium on allowing people to contribute according to their abilities instead of their job titles.
Professional Growth
Skills and talent get noticed at Sybase. The size of our organization means that we have the muscle to handle major implementations — and that you will be working with leading companies around the world — but we're small enough so that you won't get lost in the crowd. Talented individuals aren't locked into narrow career tracks at Sybase. We offer more flexibility than you'll find in a mega-company, but enough structure so that you can develop the in-depth experience that is critical to career development.
Compensation and Benefits
To continue to attract and retain the brightest and best workforce, Sybase has structured compensation to exceed the industry average. In addition, Sybase offers a highly competitive array of benefits, available to everyone from day one of employment. Key incentive initiatives, such as the "Star Performer Award" and "Service Award" programs, acknowledge and reward contributions that exceed immediate job responsibilities. These programs are corporate wide.
Professional Development
Sybase encourages employees to take an active, hands-on approach to their professional development. The Sybase intranet provides a wealth of information on continuing education. In addition to new employee orientation, you will find descriptions of a variety of ongoing training programs. Sybase offers "hard-skills" technical training as well as "soft-skills" training in areas such as management and communications.
Work-Life Balance
Sybase allows employees considerable freedom and flexibility in the way they structure their professional lives. We believe that the highest levels of performance can only be attained when individuals are able to create a work schedule that balances personal and family needs.
We Want You to Succeed
Each year, all employees receive a performance review. In addition to evaluating past performance, the review indicates areas for improvement, provides valuable direction for professional development, defines performance expectations, and helps employees set short-term and long-range goals.
