Pros

Very easy going culture that is very flexible as long as your work is getting done and high quality. Tons of high quality peers and leaders to collaborate and work with. Allstate wants to be a leader in important areas such as diversity and inclusiveness. Allstate is okay with hybrid and remote roles.

Cons

Even when identified as top talent Allstate will not reward with fair market pay. As with many large legacy companies data quality, data engineering, and data governance for analytics is a mess. Leadership only focuses on the exciting potential data science applications and does not realize how poorly data and datasets are managed. Many projects are continuously delayed or eventually fail in production due to lack of commitment to proper data management resources. Decision science organization just wants to build a model, get credit, and then throw it over the wall for business areas to figure out how to maintain and automate. There is no accountability for the projects to still be adding value even a couple months after project completion.

Pros

Large Stable company, decent benefits, provide social gathering opportunities for remote employees.

Cons

Communication is not the best. from leadership down or between departments. Perception is valued higher then performance. Under stress people may turn hostile and the leadership is not equipped to address in well. In case of my manager some of the expectations were not reasonable.
