Tested in Symfony 3.1

You could also set default path after user login successfully for all users in security.yml file like so:

[config/security.yml]

...

firewalls:
    # disables authentication for assets and the profiler, adapt it according to your needs
    dev:
        pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
        security: false
    main:
        pattern: /.*
        form_login:
            login_path: /login
            check_path: /login_check
            default_target_path: /login/redirect <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        logout:
            path: /logout
            target: /
        security: true
        anonymous: ~
...

and then in default_target_path method make simple redirection based on user role. Very straight forward. Some say that the easiest way is always the best way. You decide :)

[SomeBundle/Controller/SomeController.php]

/**
 * Redirect users after login based on the granted ROLE
 * @Route("/login/redirect", name="_login_redirect")
 */
public function loginRedirectAction(Request $request)
{

    if (!$this->get('security.authorization_checker')->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY'))
    {
        return $this->redirectToRoute('_login');
        // throw $this->createAccessDeniedException();
    }

    if($this->get('security.authorization_checker')->isGranted('ROLE_ADMIN'))
    {
        return $this->redirectToRoute('_admin_panel');
    }
    else if($this->get('security.authorization_checker')->isGranted('ROLE_USER'))
    {
        return $this->redirectToRoute('_user_panel');
    }
    else
    {
        return $this->redirectToRoute('_login');
    }
}

Works like a charm but keep in mind to always check for most restricted roles downwards in case your ROLE_ADMIN also has privileges of ROLE_USER and so on...
