Technology Development Program - Software Development Track Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview is a 3-part process.

  1. Fill out a questionnaire detailing your experience, salary expectations, graduation date, etc.

  2. A behavioral discussion with the Recruiter about yourself and the things you have worked on.

  3. A technical interview with someone on the team.

I got to step 3 and the interviewer, a DevOps developer, was unprepared. Yes...UNPREPARED! You read that correctly. He stated that he didn't know what he was doing because Geico made him use a new software that he was unfamiliar with. He claimed, "he saw this meeting on his calendar and joined because he didn't know what it was about." I used the time to ask about work-life balance, Geico expectations, etc. We finished talking, and he apologized and claimed he would reschedule a proper interview when he was prepared. Two days later, I emailed my recruiter and asked him when the next step in the interview process was, to which the recruiter responded, "I did not receive feedback from the DevOps developer yet, but I will ask."

Six days later, I received a rejection email stating that I was no longer considered for the position. I was rejected, despite no wrongdoing on my part. I'm not sure what the DevOps developer said to my recruiter; however, I know that something unfair took place during my interview process. I was never given a chance to conduct a technical interview, and I emailed my recruiter about my interviewer's unpreparedness, to which I have yet to get a response. It's funny how they're punctual until they no longer want you.

If this represents how Geico runs as a company, then I guess I dodged a bullet. But to Geico, do us all a favor and remove the jobs from your career page if you plan to waste our time. Thanks.
