Pros

It was a good place to work. Good 401k match. They used to have good raises (they used to be 10% each year) but Todd needs his bonuses so now they’re 1%.

Cons

The CIO Hari Govind is a coward. He implemented a new “up or out” system where we have to PIP out the bottom 10% every quarter. Senior management has asked multiple times for town halls or large group meetings to explain this along with other bs “metrics” but he’s always out of office. Hey Hari, if these plans are so great why can’t you stand behind them? Todd’s a coward too. The only time I’ve heard anything from him is when he decided to lay off 6% of the workforce two months before Christmas in a form email. But hey he got a $4 million bonus. Everyone is jumping ship. I coached my developers to leave as well while the goings good.

Pros

GEICO is one of the largest employers in my smaller town, so I've heard all the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a pleasant surprise it's been working here! There is so much intentional change to create a great employee experience and get the right team leaders in place. Highly recommend not putting too much weight into older negative comments if you're thinking about applying. I've been very happy with my salary, the benefits/time off, culture, and leadership (both locally and senior leaders). I feel like there's a lot of room to continue to grow my career here and I see the same opportunities for others.

Cons

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
