Pros

Is a very good company to join right out of college. However my advice is to get your years of experience and move on. They offer a 6 week bootcamp in C# .NET for developers which is better than what you will get out of most colleges. And the experience of working in an Agile organization is also very helpful. But your specific experience of working will depend on what team you end up joining. Benefits are also great, with a good base salary and and good medical benefits, floating holidays, personal time off to get stuff done during the week etc.

Cons

While they do have annual reviews and raise salaries yearly, this does not guarantee a pleasant working environment. Due to the size of the organization, and the rapid rotation between teams, communication and relationship building has suffered tremendously. As with most IT organizations nowadays, they do expect you to "Google" most things and learn on your own. Company culture is toxic. Every person for themselves. Not everyone's cup of tea, certainly not mine.

Pros

Decent pay and remote work.

Cons

Poor management at all levels, and high turnover in the IT department. Profit sharing was initially offered when I started in 2013 but disappeared after covid. Management laid off most of the IT staff that had the technical and insurance knowledge in favor of bringing in new staff to transition GEICO into a tech company. Not sure what the status of the IT department is in 2026.
