Pros

- you get paid. - bus access. - some employees that you’ll get along with. - benefits are somewhat ok.

Cons

- Management and Upper Management do not care for you. - No one to learn from. - Everyone is for themselves. - Employees seek out for help and management still didn’t attempt to resolve overwork. - Just think twice before applying here.

Pros

• You don’t have to work that hard to get a paycheck • If you’re at the point in your career where you need to chill out before retirement and you don’t care to actually do anything to improve IT; this is the place for you.

Cons

• If you speak up about poor management decisions, just hand in your badge because you’re done. • Being an IT Architect has no accountability and no real requirement to execute on anything. The company has so many Architects yet IT is a disaster. • IT at Symetra is largely outsourced so you can always put the blame on the outsourced vendor. People call Senior IT Management Teflon because the results of their asinine decisions never sticks to them.
