Pros

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to join a company whose culture is as depicted on their website. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful during onboarding. I have never felt out of place or unappreciated. Great leadership!

Cons

I'm having a hard time thinking of a con.

Fabulous people, interesting work, and flexible in schedules

For me it was being fully remote and living in another state. Wish I could live closer to the office!

From Dena Ashlock, SVP and Chief Actuary: Thank you being a part of our actuarial team and your five-star review. I am glad to know your experience at Symetra and on our team has been great so far. I understand it can be sometimes difficult to foster connection in our mostly remote environment, which is why we try to find ways to connect employees in-person occasionally. In the meantime, I encourage you to not only look into joining an ERG but also consider registering for one of the several Talent Development programs to get to know others around the company.

From Dave Kryzanski, Vice President Service and Operations: Thank you your review, your feedback lets me know my team and I are on the right path in ensuring we’re meeting the needs of our employees. I also appreciate your feedback regarding being slow and resistant to new technology. We do have several exciting systems initiatives in process. We can’t address all systems at once, but are focused on ways to making things easier for our employees and our customers. We also are careful to balance diving into the latest innovations, with consideration the security of our customers and partners. Our team is intentional about the tools we introduce in our environment to ensure our stakeholders are always protected.
