I don't know what to think about hiring standards. Maybe it will sound arrogant, but my opinion is that most of the new hires wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to work here if they had applied several years ago. Can the criteria be any lower? It... — read more 

I work at State Farm and it is a total sh-t show! In 4 years they downsized the claims workforce by over 40%, took the savings and bought policies. Grew too much with cr---y business that is now having claims and we have been in mandatory overtime... — read more

No one wants to work here.

Has anyone else seen the Geico subreddit? There is corporate emails being sent company wide to help stop unionization efforts. Most of their people aren’t getting pay raises this year, and they are overhauling their 401k.

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
