Pros

Competitive salary and time off. Recently added flex days which can be used for sick leave of time off. Able to work from home as needed for doctor appointments and snow days. Most of the employees are genuinely nice and easy to work with. Convenient location in Bellevue. Close to transit center. Company is growing and has ambitions to become a 'national player.'

Cons

Limited ability to move around the organization. Managers are failing to develop and promote talent. Some senior managers lead by instilling fear and intimidation. Symetra is not investing in keeping systems current. Old systems are difficult to use and inefficient. Workloads are heavy, especially during peak season.

Pros

Competitive pay and vacation time. As a first year i will accrue 3 weeks off and then have additional flex days. I love my coworkers and we are a family—they encourage me to be better each workday. Symetra also pays for tuition so you can go back to school. We have a female CEO and Symetra is very encouraging of women to take on management roles and roles within technology. Great location and the building is very pretty.

Cons

Every work place has people that are difficult to work with, but overall, i have no complaints. I do wish Symetra paid for parking or bus passes, but i understand that is very costly for a business.
