Pros

I met some nice people along the way.

Cons

I used to enjoy working for Symetra but over the last few years there have been so many changes that have severely ruined the vibe. They keep hiring or promoting people (including managers, directors, upper management) that do not have the right experience and lack of the right education. This, I found has led to a lot of corner cutting and bad decision making. Some of these bad decisions were just plain unethical. I want no part of it!

Pros

Work life balance Great people Remote work Great management Great culture They do a great job recognizing talent internally and promoting from within

Cons

Smaller company so may not have as many opportunities as larger companies would have for promotion. Know this going in and you are fine

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. You will work in a nice building.

Cons

There isn't any growth opportunity unless you are the manager's favorite. I've seen some people who work really hard and have done lots of projects, but still hasn't been promoted. Think twice before you apply here.
