Symetra - Hit and Miss

Anonymous employee

Pros

Employees were good people and good intentions. Safeco culture and history and strength were a great basis. Upper management changes blew up a functioning company. Not sure what the Japanese are going to do with it but it will be interesting to watch whether they dismantle Bellevue for a move to the East Coast or absorb the clients along with another good buy.

Cons

Went Public and lost focus. Brought in big wigs from big Insurance Companies to "fix it". Lost and laid off a lot of good employees. Then cleaned house again and cleaned out the big wigs. Seem to be trying to find focus again and seem to have been perfect for acquisition. Product mix seems to be a struggle as well. Life Division seems to be the continued albatross for the company.

Pros

I have been working for Symetra since November 2015 in the Enfield CT office. This A growing company that is on the move! Upper-management is very engaged with the staff and seeks fresh new opinions and ideas. Great benefits. The HR department is very focused on employee development. It is very important to work for a company that is aligned with your personal morals and beliefs. This company is definitely aligned with mine!

Cons

None come to mind. Great company
