How's the leadership on the IT team at State Farm?

The leadership is primarily too busy to focus on the development of the employees. This is not directly their fault as they are taxed with so many responsibilities that it is impossible to focus on the people they manage. The primary concern is the approach that management does not need to technically understand what their team does. This makes it impossible to accurately understand and evaluate their employee’s work, and prevents the ability to understand the magnitude or impact of an effort being taken.
