Employees say:
"Symetra has always made me feel like I'm more than just a number. I've had opportunities to be innovative by identifying and implementing process improvements, and I've been able to grow professionally through the mentorship program. I also appreciate the Employee Resource Groups and volunteer opportunities, which have helped me build meaningful connections with my coworkers, expand my network, and feel like a valued part of the company."
Employees say:
"At Symetra, you aren't just a coworker or a number on a paper, you're family. I started with the company as a temporary employee with an agency and then had a medical issue arise. My manager at Symetra worked hard to get me on board full time earlier than planned to get me better health care and used 'we' statements when it came to getting me through the difficult time I was having. It was a life changing moment in the workplace for me and has made Symetra a company I want to retire from."
Employees say:
"I have been here for 10 years now, and I can say with 100% confidence that the culture at Symetra is like nothing I have ever experienced before. Everyone from the top-down cares about each other and about Symetra. Everyone is free to be themselves. Having been on 3 different teams now, I can say that each one has been like this. The whole team is open and encouraged to share their input and ideas."
Employees say:
"The culture truly sets Symetra apart. From providing education and development opportunities, ERGs to help support the needs of different groups, work-from-home option, annual bonus and opportunities for financial recognition of special projects, and overall just our leadership team's openness to feedback and new ideas - it's just such a healthy and welcoming environment for employees at all levels to thrive."
Employees say:
"Symetra truly contributes to our communities and the causes we care about. I have never worked for a company that puts so many resources into employee volunteering/supporting non-profits. I also always feel supported when I need or want to take time off—Symetra really values employees and also invests in development. I love working at Symetra."
Employees say:
"Symetra is a wonderful place to work because of their true focus the employees, customers, and community. Their commitment to DEI is incredible and I'm so impressed by what they contribute to the community through volunteer events, matching donations, and volunteer hours. They also put so much into employee development and systems to support that. I'm really impressed and grateful to work here."
Employees say:
"Symetra makes me feel welcomed, and my leadership is open to listening to any concerns or feedback. If I need a specific resource, there is a quick turnaround in receiving it. The diversity groups are also a great way to network with other peers who you may not work with directly on a day to day basis."
Employees say:
"I really like that Symetra has multiple employee resource groups. Everyone in the ERGs are welcoming, I have learned so much from the different events the ERGs have hosted, and they provide a great opportunity to connect with people across the company."
Employees say:
"The management team is phenomenal. They uphold the value of strong work ethic through action. Not only that, but they are also compassionate human beings who pride themselves in uplifting their team members. For example, leads and management stay late to ensure that tasks are done, and they're always the first one in the chats during the morning to say hello."
