Pros

Insurance is much more interesting than you think, with a lot of tricky challenges. GEICO has a lot of great people who work for it.

Cons

Just found out my job would be eliminated. GEICO constantly bragged about how the company never does layoffs. Stability was a major reason for working for GEICO. Then I and 80 others modeling and research associates got laid off in October of 2021. GEICO was never competitive on salary, and those left are being asked to do more and more disrupting work life balance. If you have options as a Modeler or Data Wrangler, then you have better options than GEICO at this point. Companies that lay off "research" associates are communicating they don't care about the company's long term future. This and many other changes started when Todd Combs became CEO a few years ago.

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.
