GEICO reviews

Recruiters do an absolutely terrible job relaying the actual details of the Management Development Program. Also have to accept the offer within 3 days, which is very questionable, especially if they offer you early in your senior year of college. Almost like they're forcing you to accept. The actual program is less than for the most part. You will be doing the exact same training as Auto Adjusters, so besides pay, there is no real difference between the Auto Damage MDP and the Auto Damage Trainee. The training itself is really, really intense. You will not get more than 4 hours of sleep for upward of two months. You take "quizzes" everyday for two months. In "preschool" you learn every part of the car and how thy function, and you're quizzed on it everyday. Quizzes count 70% of your overall grade; oh yeah, you must maintain an overall average of 90%. So, if you are an upcoming/new college graduate looking in to a management development program, please look elsewhere. You do not want to be the person who accepts this job, and are sent home after you don't maintain the 90% average. PLEASE DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF. It's not worth the stress, you probably won't be exposed to none of the details throughout the on boarding , interview process, they're not up front with anything regarding the program, which makes sense once you're in the program. Don't be banboozled by the name "Management Development Program". You are still starting from the bottom of the totem pole.

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.
