I’m in auto claims. I’ve been with State Farm almost 20 years. What other departments offer a great work life balance? Claims has gotten really bad recently …

Your a tool. Clearly inexperienced or new to Google model, methodologies, systems (not plug okay) and approaches and are one of the cheerleaders for how mismanaged and a show it is- a clear buddy game
As an experienced agile and other methodology/structure and person that’s been part in many tech cos and other cos on extremely meaningful and fast paced non third part plug and play integrations efforts and some of those too- It is clear- SF ET is not what you say
Nice way to give yourself a pat in back though.
Perhaps I make way more than you should for what exactly you do.

ET. Shoddy work with no consequence.
Enterprise Reaearch, Strategic Consulting, the business departments (claims, underwriting, life), ET, Ad Services (property management, green initiatives), Law, Investments, Data and Analytics, Agency. There are a bunch of good ones that are still careers.
ET is awesome. The people whining about it have zero idea what product management is. We get 3x more done with about 70% of the people. Leadership is much much flatter, teams have more autonomy. It’s the same model used by Google and about every tech company. People work their butts off and there is a lot of pressure, and you might work till 3am if there is an outage, but mostly the balance is great.
Ditto…
ET/Digital - Basically spent 3 years reinventing something that was already set up before they let a bunch of good folks go then moved employees left to positions they were not a good fit for or overqualified for & gave ET people promotions for nothing of meaning or sense.
Taking credit for processes, business partner connections, tasks and efforts and “leadership” duties that were already cleanly set up
Implementing shady third party Systems and basically doing nothing but set up more hierarchy, more “leaders” and big titles and roles $$$. Checking off their performance and getting lots of undeserved attention.
It’s inexperienced people doing duplicate things and getting praises and money thrown at them $$
Makes Zero sense.
Bad structure (existing buddies all get ahead that way)

Rise to IT exec. Run around making promises and then taking the horsewhip to the teams.
ET hands down. Most over paid employees in the company. They work about 20 hours in a good week.
ET /Systems. You can do nothing and get praises and raises, titles & promotions. Moneybags
IT is not a great area. Except for the lazy brown noses
Business lines definitely. Get paid exorbitantly and barely need to work or hit any real goals.
Underwriting will be automated out of existence in the near future.
Underwriting is bad and claims is worse. Don't go from one dumpster fire to another albeit lesser dumpster fire. You still get burned.
Bachelors of science in business is all I have. Is underwriting really as bad as claims?
No other departments……state farm doesnt have enough workers to do any job…..metrics are unsustainable…..extreme micro management….while policy growth is gaining which means more work aka claims…….i dont have to much longef and cant wait to get away from this he-l ho-e!
Amazing all the high end executives who announced retirement recently…
Anything not connected to claims!
Recently?
SF is a was! SF will never be the company it once was. It lost its reputation!
Executive provides outstanding work/life balance! And we fly on company jets, have an executive health plan, special silky soft TP, an amazing retirement plan, etc. Salaries and bonuses are getting closer to our true value but are not quite there.
IT is a great area! Take some it courses.
What degrees do you have?
Any job outside of the claims or underwriting sweatshops.
