State Farm reviews

The systems department nurtures and grows mediocre performance from its IT staff. Not enough challenges! You are placed into a 'role' that is responsible for a sliver of the project or a sliver of the service work. If you want a job where you will gain enough knowledge about IT and systems that you can really grow your career, this is probably not the best place for you. I say probably because some people really succeed in this company, but it is very difficult. You would need to move around a lot to other areas. On the other hand if you like to surf the Internet, there are many ‘roles’ that have that kind of free time.

Inflexibility. Constantly understaffed. Unrealistic workload and performance expectations. Constant influx of new employees who often leave once trained and placed in a position. Needs, experience, accomplishments, opinions of tenured employees often overlooked and taken for granted. Promotions and placements often the result of office politics.
