Symetra Enterprise IT is Failing

Pros

Stabilized relationship with BPO partner. Significant process maturity over the past couple of years. Lots and lots of time off.

Cons

Sr. Management vision is lacking. Mid level mangers are promoted before they are ready. Good leaders and personnel have left. If your buddies with Sr, Management, you will do well. The abandonment of the formal personnel review process and new bonus calculation methodologies will only help those who are favored.

Pros

The location is right on the bus line which is a nice perk since the cost of parking is horrendous in downtown Bellevue.

Cons

I've worked for various types of managers for a few different organizations over my nearly 20 years; some good, some bad. Symetra takes the cake for having the most imbecilic mangers I have ever been around. It's astonishing that many of these managers are in the position they are in. It's obvious that Symetra doesn’t have a very thorough vetting process when hiring or promoting their managers.
