Pros: Pays competitively in comparison to similar roles elsewhere.

Cons: The cons cost more than the pay is worth. Absolutely nutty insanity is guaranteed. No one knows anything about what they're doing because all their leadership are call center reps who never worked at another company in their life. None of them are certified in their job titles but swing themselves around like they're gods who have nothing left to learn. Just a wild amount of pure, unchecked chaos. Your life will be a nightmare. It will be hell. You will have to find a way to look for jobs on the side. You will regret joining GEICO. It will waste your time; it will not grow your career. Benefits are actively declining. Your medications will stop being covered in the middle of the year. People will actually learn less over time. No one knows how to use a computer, not even the senior programmers. Zero culture, zero psychological safety. If you want to work inside of a cartoon, join GEICO, but if you want a sane life, even being a delivery driver is less crazy than this.

Pros: I had a decent work-life balance and felt valued by my team and department leadership. I enjoyed my work and was paid well.

Cons: My biggest cons: * Weak job security * Not enough WFH flexibility * Did not feel valued by upper management Details below. Job security used to be great, but that drastically changed around 2021. In the last couple of years before I left, there were multiple rounds of department-wide layoffs which caught most people totally by surprise. One day everything is fine, the next day half your team is "released". Forced into the office 3 days per week, despite the fact that my department could do our jobs perfectly well from home. A select group of high performers were allowed to continue working fully remotely, which felt pretty crappy to the rest of us. It also makes being in the office even more pointless if your direct supervisor is fully remote. Upper management could have done very small things to boost morale during the time when they were ramping up RTO (allow WFH around the holidays, give 2hr early dismissal on the day before a holiday, which was typical while I worked there, etc). They did none of these things, which I interpreted to mean that they didn't care about associates' morale and weren't even trying to pretend that they cared.

Pros: Good cyber security co-workers and leaders. Room for growing; I got a promotion in 1 year. Cutting-edge tech.

Cons: My experience was in IT. It is a good place to work. I enjoyed the time I spent there.
