Hi I currently work at Allstate and have my final interview this week at statefarm. What are some cons and rumor about the company. Is it a good idea to jump the ship to come here. The role is in tech software engineering

I think that it is a part of State Farm culture, that managers complicate everything to such an extent that employees lose the will to work at all. Have you noticed that too? Why do the superiors have such a need to complicate things that could... — read more

Working in claims at SF is definitely not a job for me. I would appreciate it if someone who worked in claims at competitors could tell me if it is as miserable as here?

The only thing they care about is agents. That’s it. Not customers, not employees. Just agents. The stark difference between the way they handled the company’s 100 year milestone for agents vs employees is a perfect example of this. Agents got... — read more

Watch and see. SF will be next just like other companies to give its employees an added "benefit" of travel expenses to have an abortion. I would hope they really think about it before they jump on the bandwagon like Di-ks Sporting Goods, Kroger... — read more
