Vantaggi

IT is still currently fully remote

Svantaggi

The company has been in chaos since 2022. Layoff after layoff, some announced, others not. The appraisal metrics were adjusted to give virtually every employee a 3/5 and used as justification to not give out raises. Systems admins have to cross-train to be developers, developers have to become systems admins, although at the rate things are going they might just lay off all system admin roles. Some substantiated rumors are flying about an extremely aggressive plan to rank developers quarterly (Not sure how that's going to happen when everyone gets a 3) and put the bottom 10% on a 45-day 'improve or terminate' plan. The only reliable source of news is the employee subreddit. IT employees are being hired remotely with no written guarantee of being able to stay remote.

Vantaggi

GEICO is one of the largest employers in my smaller town, so I've heard all the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a pleasant surprise it's been working here! There is so much intentional change to create a great employee experience and get the right team leaders in place. Highly recommend not putting too much weight into older negative comments if you're thinking about applying. I've been very happy with my salary, the benefits/time off, culture, and leadership (both locally and senior leaders). I feel like there's a lot of room to continue to grow my career here and I see the same opportunities for others.

Svantaggi

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Vantaggi

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Svantaggi

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
