Colloquio
Very fair. All the interviewers were over 15+ years at Geico and very understanding and practical in explaining the problem. Gave real scenarios that a Principal has to manage and mentioned more on how to change people's. mentality to new approaches.

Colloquio
This is for SRE position
Step 1: Applied through GEICO careers & reached out by recruiter
Step 2: Job Fit Round
Step 3: Power day, 5 interviews (SRE focus, 2 behavioral, system design, algorithm/coding)
They interviewed for Senior Eng role though I applied for Principal and they asked for me one more coding round after power day to make a final decision. It was a 7 rounds interview.
SRE interview - kinda unprofessional, the interviewer read me a question paper given by his supervisor.
Coding/system design - It felt good, quality questions, professional and interviewer was helpful in answering my questions. However interviewer appeared to be inexperienced, over enthusiastic and fixated on the answers that interviewer came prepared for.
