Process

The process took several months. Expect a delay. Do your homework. Be flexible and available to relocate. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

First interview with the recruiter.
Then a set of tests.
If successful, you move forward in the process.
They send you to HQ for a set of interviews.
If they decide to move you forward, the last stage is to go to a regional office.
There, you will have several interviews and a first-hand view of operations.
From that point, you will learn if you will be invited to join the program.

This process accounts for the duration of time from start to finish. The people and experience are great. The management wants to know you are serious and understand the position requires hard work. The opportunities are endless and the culture breeds success.

Great launching place for insurance career

Emerging Leaders Program: Operations and Technology • Former Employee

Pros: A great place to obtain industry knowledge for insurance. GEICO is cutting-edge in the insurance industry, and there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained. The mentorship and leadership exposure provided in the Emerging Leaders program is second to none, and it provides a great launching platform for a career in project management, insurance, and operations management.

Cons: GEICO does a great job providing a foundation for learning and growth, but the flame can burn out after a few years. Many things about the company (salary action, workplace culture) are archaic. I would suggest this job as a great place to start, but once the well runs dry, you'll find exit opportunities that are much more fruitful.

Great for entry-level opportunities, but draining in the long run

Emerging Leaders Program: Operations and Technology • Current Employee

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

Pros: Lots of experience in a short period of time. They keep a tight budget and do not want to have to hire non-foxhole roles if they don't have to. So, if you're willing to work the extra time to do additional projects for added experience, then this place is perfect.

Cons: Extreme micromanagement, poor/dishonest communication for the Emerging Leaders Program, and an expectation to have one person do the job of multiple associates with the same salary.
