Pros

1) Work life balance is pretty good, but your time at work will depend on the team that your own

Cons

1) Your time at State Farm will depend on your team. There are good and bad teams. I have been on too many bad teams, State Farm doesn't like to fire anyone, that's one you have ego-maniacs, power-hungry, disrespectful people working.

Pros

Huge IT shop, so there's a lot of opportunities to work on really anything from any web language to something in hardware/networking. Good work-life balance, most managers are flexible on hours and working from home when needed.

Cons

Very political. Developers are not valued. The "technology managers" are not former devs and know little to nothing about software development or design. Sometimes first line leadership will jump in and try to influence architecture based on politics. Outside of that, the pay and benefits are not very competitive with the industry.
