Vantaggi

Great place for a developer looking to retire within the next 10 or so years. You can easily get way with doing virtually nothing because no one there knows how an actual IT company operates.

Svantaggi

Its not a real IT company period. The executives will push that they are like propaganda. They only promote from within so its just a hodgepodge of group think. The CIO who is responsible for IT has zero background knowledge in... IT. He's a lawyer that started in the mailroom, not even kidding. You don't actually gain any knowledge on how to write code or be a better developer. You don't need a college degree to work in their codebase. If you're looking to grow your career stay away from Geico, you will get complacent because of how easy it is. They pay isn't great and the benefits are even worse. Only just recently in Q4 of 2019 did they think that they should offer MATERNITY LEAVE. Yes a 70+ year old supposed IT company only recently thought it prudent, to give benefits to new mothers. Oh but fathers still get nothing, you'll have to use vacation. Speaking of vacation, 2 weeks of vacation to start is sub standard and only 6 holidays a year. 6 years for 100% 401k vesting is absolute garbage. Profit sharing is a percentage of your salary which can range from 15% - 25% historically. That doesn't sound too bad until you realize that the first 10% is their way of "matching" 401k and the rest is a cash payout. And when consider the below average salary, it's not that great of a benefit. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY.

Vantaggi

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Svantaggi

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
