-Work Like balance, work hours -Good compensation for Midwest standard of living -Lots of opportunities for lateral moves and learning about different technology areas at State Farm -Flexible location- WFH or Hybrid

Cons

-Can be lonely/difficult to navigate if you're new, as the organization forgets about their younger employees in virtual/hybrid environment -Salaries jump up fairly well your first few years, but tends to cap out if you're not consistently getting promoted

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
