Pros

-- Stable and no layoff. I have seen people sitting here for the entire career. People like the big profit sharing at the end of the year.

Cons

-- No technical contributions from the lead to the overall team work. They are just paper pusher eating very high salary.. -- Low salary compared to other companies, they say they make it up in 401K etc..Not a great way to keep people happy -- No room to learn new things or see motivation in people who are there for a long time, You have to be an independent worker/thinker to come up with your own ideas and push it. No real team work. -- Different groups work in a different manner to solve same problems and come up with the hotch potch. No real technical architecture/design team to solve common problems across organization.

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

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
