Interview
Had two phone interviews and 3 in person interviews (same day). First interview was through HR, pretty typical questions - what do you know about company? Why our company? Why the position? Etc. Second phone interview was with manager. The different interviews were with different people from department and departments I would be working with.

Interview
the interview itself was not bad. I only made it to the recruiter screening. The bad experience was how they informed me I moved on to the second round(never actually interview), gave me a bogus answer on why they didn't schedule and need to delay, and then send me an e-mail saying the position has been filled. Also there pay transparency wasn't accurate in the job posting. The recruiter explained they just posted a range for legal compliance..... which means to me again they are not being honest. I think for this opportunity, I am happy it did not workout. The company wasn't transparent about the interview process and pay. I recommend for them to be honest with candidates if they are not a good fit, and to post accurate pay ranges.

Interview
My experience with Symetra's interview process was disappointing. Communication was terrible, and the entire process took over a month. Despite being promised a final interview, the hiring manager ghosted me. Multiple follow-ups resulted in empty promises and no response. Symetra's lack of communication and unfulfilled commitments left me frustrated and disheartened. I cannot recommend Symetra as an employer based on my experience.

Interview
The phone interview was very positive. I was given all the details about the position, how much it is paid, and asked several questions about my background and skills (experience+education). It took around 15 minutes and the interviewer was very pleasant.
