As an employee you are also in good hands - Applications Developer bei Allstate: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Very hard to move up in the ranks quickly enough when starting from entry level. Outside of using Unix/Java the company doesn't really embrace open source technology and was 95% Microsoft (Exchange / Office / Sharepoint) at the time I left. Ultimately I see this as a negative because it likely puts them in a position of spending lots of extra money on those licenses and being less agile when it comes to development of new systems or fixing the old legacy ones.
