Thanks for the positive review – I really appreciate our culture and work-life balance at Symetra, too, especially with the challenges of the pandemic in the past year. Not sure if “slow middle management” refers to the pace of decision-making, but I know that’s something we’re always working to improve.

We appreciate your positive review and comments about flexibility. We’ve learned a lot in the past year, with more than 95 percent of employees working from home. And, yes, there’s plenty of change as we transform our business for the future, but I see that as a good thing – we have to evolve to achieve our vision of a world where more people have access to financial freedom.
