Pros

Management is trying hard to be open and honest. A lot of opportunity presents itself if you show motivation. If they can keep enough good staff and hire the right new staff, will take off.

Cons

Evidence of old boy network everywhere. Lots of people leaving. Lots of knowledge walking out the door.

Pros

Good benefits, nice people to work with. Great location in downtown Bellevue. 'Business Jeans' dress code. Basically business casual that includes nice looking jeans.

Cons

Management seems to have little concern for the satisfaction of employees even though they tout that making Symetra 'the place to be' is one of the company goals. Increased expectations and pressure and very little real acknowledgement or reward for a job well done.

After 14 years - my loyalty didn't pay off.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, supportive co-workers and fairly good benefits.

Cons

Lack of communication, lack of knowledge amongst upper management, very political, hostile work environment is fostered and no action is taken by HR when situations are brought to their attention, projects and products are developed for months on end only to be stopped after thousands of dollars are spent, because not enough research was done beforehand. If you're thinking of applying here - RUN, they won't be around in 2 years and it's not worth your energy.
