GEICO Principal Software Engineer reviews

Super old, broken, undocumented approach to tech. CTO is extremely full of himself and they can't even figure out Cloud so they are migrating to on-prem, but the process is so broken and the knowledge is so sparse that of course its delayed 18+ months and again broken. Company is borderline racist as well, and I say that as a white person. They only hire people from India, actively filtering out others since they want H1-B to underpay and treat them badly, I feel bad for them. They get to overwork, underpay, and get an employee who has no option but to stay and take the abuse. Also teams are given old projects, then fired after a while and some teams are given advantages or don't have to follow a process your team does, so that manager teams looks good at your expense, since you have 1000 more broken controls and ecosystems to fight through. Bad mistake on my part coming here. Also pay is very bad, again since they prefer to exploit immigrants than actually pay market rate.

It seems like internal bickering gets in the way of progress. Departments can’t agree between each other, and engineers get caught in the crossfire.
