Pros

Great place for a developer looking to retire within the next 10 or so years. You can easily get way with doing virtually nothing because no one there knows how an actual IT company operates.

Cons

Its not a real IT company period. The executives will push that they are like propaganda. They only promote from within so its just a hodgepodge of group think. The CIO who is responsible for IT has zero background knowledge in... IT. He's a lawyer that started in the mailroom, not even kidding. You don't actually gain any knowledge on how to write code or be a better developer. You don't need a college degree to work in their codebase. If you're looking to grow your career stay away from Geico, you will get complacent because of how easy it is. They pay isn't great and the benefits are even worse. Only just recently in Q4 of 2019 did they think that they should offer MATERNITY LEAVE. Yes a 70+ year old supposed IT company only recently thought it prudent, to give benefits to new mothers. Oh but fathers still get nothing, you'll have to use vacation. Speaking of vacation, 2 weeks of vacation to start is sub standard and only 6 holidays a year. 6 years for 100% 401k vesting is absolute garbage. Profit sharing is a percentage of your salary which can range from 15% - 25% historically. That doesn't sound too bad until you realize that the first 10% is their way of "matching" 401k and the rest is a cash payout. And when consider the below average salary, it's not that great of a benefit. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY.

Pros

Benefits & a paycheck- that's it.

Cons

If there was a world championship for micromanagement, Geico would win the gold. Coaching sessions/plans are a joke....this isn't school. Metrics are absurd. Never in my life have I worked somewhere like this and I don't mean that in a good way. Also, the entire way they go about United Way is very forcing. You're almost looked down upon for not doing the "fair share". out of each paycheck...which I refuse to do!

Pros

Best training, good benefits, decent pay, profit sharing. Get the training and jump ship!

Cons

You will be over worked. Expectations are unreasonable. If you have a conscience it will be a challenge. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. GEICO school is the easiest part, and it’s not a walk in the park. Lastly they do not stand by their 7 principles, zero respect for employees and zero integrity.
