Transamerica – Why Work For Us?
When it comes to preparing for the future, there’s no time like the present.
At Transamerica, we’re helping people live better today and worry less tomorrow. To us, it’s more than just business. We’re inspiring customers to improve their financial and personal well-being, so they can add not just years to their lives but life to their years. We couldn’t do it without our dedicated and diverse team members, who put heart into their communities and guide customers through some of life’s biggest decisions and challenging times.
The financial industry and the needs of our customers are changing. To stay at the forefront, we need to reinvent. We’re seeking ambitious people who can bring in fresh ideas and varying perspectives − and help us shake up the status quo. If you’re self-driven and able to see opportunity in change, you can make a real difference within our business and beyond. We’ve built a supportive culture that encourages fitness, giving back, and lifelong learning.
A proven track record.
Being there for customers in good markets and bad – and putting people first – is in our DNA.
Transamerica’s roots stretch back to 1904, when Amadeo Giannini created the Bank of Italy in a converted San Francisco saloon. His goal was to make financial services available to everyone, not just the wealthy few. And so he did. After the 1906 quake and fire, Giannini set up a makeshift bank on the San Francisco docks, giving residents loans to rebuild, secured with only a handshake.
Giannini’s business went on to become Transamerica. In 1999, the company began a new chapter when it became part of one of the world's leading international financial organizations: Aegon N.V.
Though the iconic Transamerica pyramid remains a prominent part of the San Francisco skyline, company headquarters are in Baltimore.
Today, Transamerica is as committed to helping people as we were 100 years ago. Our passion is empowering people to charge toward the future with a healthy account balance and a healthy heart to match, to do more today to prepare more for tomorrow.

Diversity & Inclusion
Valuing Differences
At Transamerica, we understand that the success and growth of our business depends on our people and our relationships. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, we can only succeed when we attract and retain the best individuals from a variety of backgrounds who will help shape our future through unique perspectives and experiences. Our commitment to diversity & inclusion means we value differences. We encourage a vast array of viewpoints, people who encourage the free exchange of ideas in a respectful and inclusive work environment. In addition, we are committed to maintaining a culture where all Tomorrow Makers are given the opportunity to contribute to the future success of our business.
Employee Resource Groups
Our diversity and inclusion strategy is designed to support and enrich our culture, encourage employee participation, improve organizational effectiveness, and strengthen understanding of our customers’ values by bringing together different perspectives. We believe the formation of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provides a source of strength for Transamerica. At the foundation of Transamerica’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Award is a grassroots effort started by the Diversity Discussion and Study Group (DDSG). The group is credited with cultivating awareness, orchestrating events, and has served as a catalyst and trusted advocate throughout the organization.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Transamerica full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Great management team. Great product positioning. Tons of upside potential. Great brand. Lots of smart people who work hard for Transamerica's success. Very minimal politics/back stabbing for the size of the company.
Cons
The biggest issue (which I think senior management knows) are the lack of quality tools to capture management information quickly and in a way that leads to smart strategies.
Advice to Management
Improve i/t tools for better information. Establish a culture where embracing the tools for better long term infrastructure is more important than just getting to the right answer quickly in the short term.

Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Transamerica (Plano, TX) in November 2016.
Interview
I applied online through their careers portal and was contacted by one of the managers. Initially I had a phone screen interview with the manager about the position they had and my interests mostly behavioral. Later I had to set up a phone conference call with the manager and other developer. Then moved to on-site interview where I had to interview with 5 different people. Mostly was asked about my projects, internship experience and others. It was an easy interview. Good people around and work culture
