Pros

State Farm has a muti-million dollar corporate park complete with mini-golf, pools and a lazy river. Fully funded pension.

Cons

The feedback is anymous and not specific to any behavior, making it worse than useless. The develop non-industry standard frameworks that are not transferable to any other jobs. People spend years working in languages that are unless outside the farm. They misclassify software developers as system analysts (according to descriptions provided by the department of labor, pay for systems analysts is significantly lower). Jobs are very specialized.

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
