Pros

Opportunity to gain experience since every department is short staffed.

Cons

I remember reading all the negative reviews and wondering if it was really that bad when I accepted a role at GEICO. Was told over and over by my manager how desperate GEICO was to fill IT roles and all the great opportunities. A short while after I started they laid off the entire Agile team they had just created with zero communication to anyone. People suddenly just disappeared off Workday. Now they came for the Technical Analyst role which is another they just created. Myself and lots of others are totally screwed after only being here a matter of months. Lower level managers have no clue what happened and upper level managers only communicate through the occasional email. If you are at all considering an IT role and come across this review please reconsider. I thought strong job performance and positive feedback from everyone I worked with would protect me. The layoffs are random, company wide, and driven by people 3 levels above anyone you work with who don’t care who you are.

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
