Pros

State Farm has maintained a hybrid work environment for roles that can work from home since the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing the potential for team building and collaborative work without the constant distractions of an all-in-office job.

Cons

The company is extremely risk-averse which is a good thing for insurance companies but can be a detriment to the availability of new tools for the job and the ease of access to existing tools. That said, the company is making improvements to this problem in recent years. Recent changes to pay structure also eliminated pension offerings for new hires, instead putting more money toward 401k matching so the company no longer stands apart from the rest of the industry with their pension offering.

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
