Pros

Location is nice. Walking distance to the mall. Bellevue is beautiful. View is wonderful. Some people are good-looking and fun to work with. Some hot guys are nice to work with.

Cons

The biggest downside for me is super low pay!!! It is unbelievable that such a successful company pays very little to its managers. They just give people managers' titles but pay like you work in a call center. Also they have late policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really????????!!!!!!!!! If you are late more than 7 times a year, they will let you go. Really? what a sick person came up with this policy?!!! And they do count how many times you call in sick. But the best part of the job is being constantly monitored by quality assurance team. They listen to the phone calls, monitor data entry etc. On top of all of that craziness, parking is $170 a month. They just basically steal money from my check. I am glad i found a better job with less stress and more money. Don't work at Symetra!!! Extremely cheap company!!!!

Pros

they emphasize work life balance- and do a pretty good job of it location is great- restaurants, shopping around Bus station is close by, easy to get to

Cons

As long as you do your part of the work, don't worry about the project being successful. Company thrives on pointing fingers by management, so be prepared to cover your butt. Some IT managers say they reward for hard work, but they like to talk about people differently when your not around. Working on mainframe systems is not fun for someone who has developed on other systems
