Pros

Family friendly Work / life balance Excellent pay and benefits Excellent work atmosphere Very skilled and talented technical workforce Plenty of opportunity for advancement and careers to choose from

Cons

The corporate culture within State Farm confuses management with leadership. There are very few real leaders within senior management that people would willingly follow. Although there are certainly some great leaders, they are unfortunately the exception. Senior management will never own up to a bad decision. As a result, it creates an atmosphere where it's not ok to make mistakes and learn from them. Too many managers and directors don't understand the work they oversee.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
