State Farm – “State Farm Research Center is a great place to intern.”
Pros
Great team work ability. The management is very helpful. Variety of projects to pick from. Even as an intern, you get great opportunities to learn as much as you can about various insurance products. Definitely a stable company to work for in the insurance industry. The research center always has the companies most cutting edge technology. Every intern just received brand new large computer monitors. There are over three large lcd screens all with video conferencing capabilities allowing interns to network and conference between the research center, headquarters (bloomington, IL), and with field agents if necessary.
Cons
Insurance can sometimes be a somewhat drab industry. Not the most exciting.
Advice to Senior Management
Great job trusting young employees with large amounts of responsibility and providing them with the right support.
