I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at GEICO
Interview
First I applied online. I literally heard back from them the next day; they emailed me back with an Actuarial questionnaire. This was an untimed word document just asking so basic questions about myself. Shortly after that, they emailed me asking me to take a 2 hour timed analytic test. This consisted of an excel and a word document where I had to answer some questions and explain my reasoning. I didn't think it was incredible difficult and I thought I had done well enough, however about 2 weeks after I submitted that, they emailed saying that they were no longer moving forward with my application. Never even got to an interview :( However, I overall felt like this was a positive experience because they kept me informed and moving at a quick pace.

Question 1
How did you become interested in becoming an actuary? Why do you want to work at GEICO? Talk about an analytic project you had to work on.
Given basic Questionnaire to answer, then some old-fashioned Excel test where you are given things you likely haven't been really exposed to, considering you are applying for an entry-level position
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at GEICO (Croton-on-Hudson, NY)
Interview
The process was quick and simple. Performing well on the excel assessment definitely helped move me along in the interview process (the excel assessment is more a pricing assessment). HR was helpful, too. Note: if you say you are proficient in a software or language, they will probably ask you some questions!

Question 1
Can you explain the basics of pricing and reserving and how they differ?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at GEICO (Chevy Chase, MD) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interviewer appeared to be condescending the whole time. No feedback and no emotion. Unpleasant experience. But had to admit that I did not fully prepare especially when the interviewer asked me to name a restaurant near the workplace.
