Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Indianapolis, Indiana
Process
I first met recruiters at the Career Fair on my campus.
After that, they sent me an invitation to apply online.
About two or three weeks later, they sent me an email with an online assessment consisting of logic, reading comprehension, and math problems.
A few days later, they told me I had been selected for a webcast interview since I am not local to Indianapolis, IN.
That interview was scheduled for about two weeks after I received the invitation.
In that interview, I talked mostly about previous projects and my skills, and also talked more about the company and the position.
I got my offer a week and a half after the final interview.
Overall, a very positive experience. The recruiters were very nice, and I enjoyed speaking with them.

GEICO Work Experiences
- 4.0Secure, Slow, But CheapJunior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeChevy Chase, Maryland, United StatesJune 25, 2021Pros: - Job security - Slow pace (if you are into that) - Profit sharing sometimes gives a good boost to income. - Easy to jump into different roles if you want to (e.g., many analysts can become developers or vice versa).Cons: - Kinda cheap (you can forget about free coffee, for example). - Some senior officers can be stuck in their old ways. - Subpar benefits (for example, they don't cover grad school courses, and you aren't getting health insurance until 3 months into the job). - Things get confusing during re-orgs (they put people in new teams and give teams new responsibilities for no apparent reason).
- 1.0Toxic work-life balanceSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeIndianapolis, Indiana, United StatesJanuary 7, 2025Pros: 100% remote is about the only thing.Cons: No work-life balance. Management doesn’t care about you. Consistent quarterly layoffs for the past few years. Loyalty is not rewarded anymore. Terrible management and C-suite.
- 1.0Horrible New ManagementEngineer 2 • Current EmployeeIndianapolis, Indiana, United StatesJuly 2, 2024Pros: I can't think of any pros at all.Cons: The new management in Data Governance, Operations, Lineage, and Data Quality is just awful. They keep firing and laying off people whenever they want and give bad performance reviews on purpose. First, they got rid of bonuses that we used to get. Then, they got rid of all contractors. Next, they got rid of some of the good managers. Now, they are trying to get rid of good employees, making performance an issue with no valid reasons. We also used to get Fridays off if we worked an extra hour each day. They took that away from us too. This has become a chasing chess game for employees to work here, and everyone is trying to boast about their work, even if they do nothing. Management is filled with toxic individuals who are trying to cut any people they just don't like.
