Great culture at heart, but I sometimes feel like leadership is biting off more than it can chew. - Anonymous employee State Farm Employee Review

Pros

The work is interesting. The company has a long-standing and well-deserved reputation of caring about its employees. The people are generally easy to get along with.

Cons

There are too many new initiatives in place, including restructuring internal processes and expanding corporate-type roles to other offices. I believe that not all of these initiatives were well thought-out individually and lots of backtracking has characterized early-stage work. Further, resources are stretched this to tackle all these things at once. Fortunately, leadership is plying us with bonus-money, which makes the aggravation a little easier to take.

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
