Pros

A career as an actuary with State Farm is pretty good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone how isn't married to the idea of living in a big city.

Cons

Large corporations can be slow to adjust to change, but I think State Farm does really well at adjusting when things are critical.

Pros

Great co-workers Family atmosphere Flexible hours Easy commute Free Parking Decent cafeterias Mobility options (laptops, VPN, work from home on occasion, cell phone, black berry) Respected in community, except by the jealous types.

Cons

Some regular employees seem to work on their Employee Performance Reviews more than their project work. Some take advantage of flexible hours and are gone more than present, it seems. Salaries are low compared to contracting, which makes conversion to perm difficult. Use of latest technologies and methodologies lags, but that's expected for a big ship. There is a lot of unnecessary separation between contractors and employees (put there by the company, not the people).

Pros

Pleasant office setting and adequate training.

Cons

Need better management. To much reliance on team environment which allows sometimes hundreds of other "possibly less qualified" claims adjusters free reign to micro manage your work product.
