Pros
Symetra has some of the best people around! My experience is that most people are friendly, helpful and collaborate very well. (Certainly, there are a few exceptions, but they are few and far between as compared to other organizations.) There is a big focus on innovation, and diversity and inclusion, with our CEO, Margaret Meister, at the helm, and it's a very exciting time to be here. I have seen more change in the past two years (in a good way) than in my entire time here, and we're on a trajectory to being a GREAT company. There's tremendous opportunity for those who want to influence the future and contribute.
Cons
Can be challenging to have so many areas of urgency - can get distracted with so many important initiatives. Commute can be a challenge and parking is not cheap, but several alternatives are subsidized. Downtown Bellevue is booming and the traffic continues to worsen, but that's a Bellevue issue, not a Symetra issue.
