Colloquio
The interview process is very tedious and took a one month to complete. There are 8 total steps which include:
Step 1: Submitting your college transcripts, resume, and cover letter. Your GPA must be above a 3.0 for a bachelor's degree or they will not accept you.
Step 2: After they review your package they may select you to the second step which is a 15 minute webcam interview where you are asked questions by the computer and you are recorded answering them. You are on camera so I dressed up for this. (Hint: I had to follow up after putting in my package or else I do not think they would have gotten back to me).
Step 3: They e-mail you an online exam which takes about an hour to complete. The first part was like a personality test asking basic questions about how you would react in different leadership situations. The next part had some math questions and different pattern assessments they wanted you to analyze. I again had to call for my results. The HR guy who had been working with me said that I passed the exam and that I scored strongest for the Sales Department. For the GEICO MDP the departments are (Sales,Service, and Claims).
Step 4: I was then finally invited to GEICO for an in person assessment. The first part of the test was on the computer and consisted of typing assessments seeing how fast that you can type. The second part was a multitasking test that sees how you well you can do various things on the computer at once. Both were easy I passed.
Step 5: They then have you learn about this fake company for 15 minutes. You are then to role play as a salesman (it may be different if you are doing another department) taking 3 different calls trying to sale this fake product. It was easy if you just act polite and try to sell using as much info as you can retain in the 15 minutes.
Step 6: This part is over the phone and they call you at a later day and it takes about an hour. The HR guy ask you various leadership questions seeing how you would react in different scenarios and how you would deal with a team under you. Pretty easy if you just sound confident and think of situations that you had been in.
Step 7: This part is back at GEICO and you get a tour of the place and you shadow someone for 2 hours. This part seemed pointless to me as you just sit next to a sales person and watch them work. I do not know I understood the intention of seeing what the work environment is like, but I felt like for 2 hours it was a bit much and almost as if I was bothering people.
Step 8: This is the last part and obviously the hardest and the most important. It occurs right after the previous part where you have been shadowing someone for 2 hours. At the end of 2 hours a lady comes up to you and asks if you are ready for the final interview. She takes you to the directors room along with herself and your potential department manager. Its the three of them and you in a room where you are pretty much on the hot seat. They start out the interview I guess like every other interview, "So tell us about yourself?" I went into that for a little bit then they ask you about your leadership style and personality. They ask you about how you have dealt with things in the past. They even act as angry customers and see how you respond.
Unfortunately, I did not get the position and was notified by an automated e-mail. I wish I could have spoken to someone in person to find out as why I was not selected. Having spent a month doing this and passing every test I assumed I was basically in the bag unless I flopped the interview (which I did not). Overall, I was not impressed with GEICO or the interview process. First off the HR person who was my point of contact was hard to communicate and coordinate with. He failed to send me two important e-mails which were only noticed because I constantly was calling him for those e-mails. If I had not I'm sure he would have assumed that I simply ignored them. Also, everyone at GEICO was wearing very informal attire when I was there, definitely not business casual. Also, during the final interview the managers barely even looked up from there script seeming almost robotic at times.

Went through one 30 min and one 60 min phone interview and 2 assessments. Both of the phone interviews were so faceless and it was just question after question. After all that, I wake up to an email saying I wasn't moving on to the last round. Such a Micky mouse organization.

I applied for the MDP program in the Tristate area at the end of March. As I was prepping for the interview I looked on Glassdoor For tips but from my experience I believe a lot of our experiences will be different depending on where you are applying as my interview timeline seemed to be a little different from some reviews I read. So don’t depend on these reviews to be the exact same interview experience and timeline. One thing i will say is even though the process is long they move through the process fairly
Quickly so as long as you are also applying for other opportunities it won’t feel like such a dragged out process. Most of the time you will get feedback the same day you complete a step. I also did not do a pre recorded hire vue video interview like some people did on here.
1) Contacted by recruiter to send transcript and availability for a preliminary phone interview.
2) spoke with recruiter about general overview on program, reviewed experiences on my resume, why geico and touched on brief leadership experiences from past jobs. Also talked about general job behaviors like how many times were you late and how many times did you call
Out? I suggest answering these as if you never called out or were late because if you answer otherwise you will be called out for it.
3) first sent behavioral assessment with a virtual
Customer service simulation. The next day i was sent the caliper assessment that goes into detail about your personality management style and logical questions.
4) few days later after calipher I was invited to compete a second phone interview a week later where they asked me situational STAR questions and about where else I’m applying and how does geico compare to My other options. This interview seems like they want to get to know about your management style, more in depth information about your leadership experience and how interested you actually are in this position. During this call The interviewer let me know immediately i will be moving on to the next step in the process which is a manager interview.
I’m not sure if this is actually the last step or if this will be role play and then a final interview but from the wording it seems like this will be my last step. But my advice will be don’t depend on these reviews to give you the exact timeline on what to expect because it may differ depending on which location and MDP track you’re applying for. Just be honest and be yourself and don’t overthink it and you should do fine. This is my second time applying and I’m doing very well compared to the first time i applied two years ago and the first time i didn’t make it past the initial first phone interview. So if it’s meant to be and you don’t overly prepare you’ll do great! But don’t overthink it :)
Tell me about a time where you had to work with a customer who received news they didn’t expect to hear or a time where you dealt with a difficult customer

Had a great interview with the interviewer, and then I was sent tests to take. I took one of the tests and felt I did well, but I was unable to take the second test due to a glitch. I attempted to contact the recruiter about this issue and she did not respond again.
