Pros

Great team! Benefits are good for the industry and area. HR is always available, the office environment is nice. The only reason I'm leaving is to join my husband out of state.

Cons

The office is located in downtown Bellevue. If you live close, the transit system is excellent. If you have to pay to park, cheap is $180/month.

Pros

Only beat by Microsoft, Symetra was recently ranked the 2nd best company to work for by the Seattle Times. There is an excellent work-life balance and there are many opportunities for growth and movement within the company.

Cons

As a growing company, there can be some challenges with old systems which can be frustrating and slow down your day. They are working to make improvements as they continue to grow.
