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.

Thank you for sharing this review. I also think highly of leadership and managers across the organization. If any employee wanted to have a discussion about their career progression, I’d urge them to speak with their manager or HR Business Partner. Symetra also has a robust offering of professional development opportunities for employees, no matter where they’re at in their professional journey.

I’m so impressed by Symetra’s commitment to DEI, not just in discussing it, but admitting there’s work to be done and taking appropriate actions. It’s nice to hear from others who feel the same way!
