Vantaggi

I get to work remote for now

Svantaggi

Super old, broken, undocumented approach to tech. CTO is extremely full of himself and they can't even figure out Cloud so they are migrating to on-prem, but the process is so broken and the knowledge is so sparse that of course its delayed 18+ months and again broken. Company is borderline racist as well, and I say that as a white person. They only hire people from India, actively filtering out others since they want H1-B to underpay and treat them badly, I feel bad for them. They get to overwork, underpay, and get an employee who has no option but to stay and take the abuse. Also teams are given old projects, then fired after a while and some teams are given advantages or don't have to follow a process your team does, so that manager teams looks good at your expense, since you have 1000 more broken controls and ecosystems to fight through. Bad mistake on my part coming here. Also pay is very bad, again since they prefer to exploit immigrants than actually pay market rate.

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.
