From Erin Woltz, VP Talent Management: It’s hard to tell when you left Symetra, but I hope you discussed your concerns during the annual salary increase conversation with your manager in early 2023 or last fall’s Talent Check-In. We work hard to deliver competitive pay, and we know how important good programmers are to Symetra’s future. If you would like to discuss specifics, please email me at erin.woltz@symetra.com anytime.

Pros

You hear about corporations trying to squeeze every last bit of profit from the little guy but from what I've seen, it doesn't feel that way with Symetra. I feel like they're genuinely trying to build an inclusive and welcoming environment for everybody. The managers that I've had have been super understanding and lax. I haven't had any encounters with my manager where I butt heads with them over time off for whatever reason.

Cons

you have some genuinely brilliant people, and then there are people on the other end who are just coasting.
