Pros

Teams are close with each other. When you’re behind, your team is willing to help. Salary and benefits is good. When in an emergency, the company is lenient on people going away for emergencies.

Cons

There is overtime, on top of the normal hours. Be expected to work most weekends and to be on an on call schedule. Deadlines are tight and many associates is too busy to reach out in an ample amount of time. Anyone who is a manager and above should have common sense of certain projects being done on time, as well as a work/home life balance. The job position is more than just the general description of the job. For the mandatory knowledge of programming languages, the software being used is a low code system. There shouldn’t be a need to be an expert of programming languages if the position is just a general engineer. That is what software developers are for.

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

Decent pay and remote work.

Cons

Poor management at all levels, and high turnover in the IT department. Profit sharing was initially offered when I started in 2013 but disappeared after covid. Management laid off most of the IT staff that had the technical and insurance knowledge in favor of bringing in new staff to transition GEICO into a tech company. Not sure what the status of the IT department is in 2026.
