I have an offer for an entry level/junior role. State Farm seems like a solid role but did hear some concern that insurance can be boring and working remotely can be boring without the social interaction, especially for new graduate. Is State Farm really out dated or boring like how people think of defense contractors? How is the work culture like.

    Use the farm as a launch pad if TC is the main objective.

    The work will be boring if you let it be boring - SF is an old wooden ship and it doesn’t take much to keep it on its current path. Where it gets exciting is when you start building a secret speed boat in the back room and then launch it off the side of the ship. What I’m saying is there’s room to innovate, the trick is getting others around you hyped up enough to join in 🤓

  • Unbelievably slow. I work probably 10hours a week and still get all my work done .

    State Farm is not ideal but it’s good for a new grad. You gotta get a job to get a job. Start leetcoding and looking for better. Getting L3 at FAANG or a unicorn will be better for your career than if you got promoted twice in one year at State Farm.

  • It depends on what you are looking for. State Farm has teams using just about anything you can imagine. Python, JS, Java, Node, React, Angular, Ruby, various AWS services, azure services, clojure, COBOL even still. We have a lot of teams writing Gosu which is proprietary Java based language for Guidewire work. Personally I think that if you’re interested in any particular language, chances are there is someone using it at SF.

  • As a new graduate you really can’t be too picky. I will say I work in a great area and a great team with newish tech (node+spring+gitlab) and it’s pretty much a good starting point. I would check to ensure what the tech stack looks like before signing though. In Dallas Hub
