Interview
After applying you get a 1-2 page questionnaire asking you about your background, times you worked on an analytical project, career goals, and why GEICO. Also asked for high school GPA which was odd. If they like the answers here they ask you to take an analytical exam at home. You get two hours for it. Nothing especially difficult but I didn't perform well enough because 2 days later I was told I was not selected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At the end of 2014 we had 1,600,000 PIF (Policies in Force). 70% of those policies were non-preferred (in one of our non-preferred companies). What would be the annualized growth rate needed to increase preferred PIF by 105,000 policies over five years? Show your work.
3 Rounds. Phone Screen -> Excel Test -> 3 panel interview. All of it was pretty ok. Takes a lot of learning to understand the insurance-specific terminology. Overall, wasn't too hard.

**Do ñot apply for this position**
Applied for this position over a month ago and wanted to work in the January class. Process is: application —> questionnaire —> logical/math test —> phone interview —> analytical assessment done on Excel (not an Excel test) —> final round super day. I made it all the way to the super day after jumping through these 15 hoops. Honestly shocked I made it to the end. Keep in mind that the recruiter keeps constantly reposting this job on LinkedIn and on their LinkedIn profile like they desperately need people. Guess they don’t. They rushed the process along. It was pretty much one activity a week on top of schoolwork and applying for other jobs. Flash forward to the super day and I aced all three interviews. The first interviewer said I would make a great fit. Analytical interview said I did well. The last interview was with a guy as enthusiastic as my thumb and was hard to read. I asked him if there’s any skills I need to work on to be successful and he said I was fine and there’s not really anything to work on. Really nothing wrong with the interview at all. HR will not give feedback in this day and age, so I went through all this for 5 weeks with little to no negatives and got an automated rejection email late in the night. My guess after seeing the current people that work there is that they have a tendency to hire only èthñic people. If you are not èthñic, forget it. I had a referral put in a good word for me last minute and still got rejected. Giant waste of time and everyone in the process agreed it was a mutual fit between them and me. If you are currently at the last round and don’t hear back within 2 days, you got rejected. The closer you get to a week, forget it. Interview elsewhere or have a backup because they have some backward hiring practices.

First, let me tell you this process is unnecessarily long. I applied via LinkedIn and was told to fill out a questionnaire similar to the application but with longer answers relating to my goals and why I'd be a good fit for the position.
After that, I was sent an SHL assessment which tested my ability to set calendar meetings and how long tasks would take. It was not very difficult, and there were practice tests. Then I had a phone interview which lasted about one hour. The person asked behavioral and insurance-related case or scenario questions. The process followed with an excel assessment. I only made it to the Excel test, and up to this point, it had been a month since the process had started. Had I made it further I would've had three more rounds of interviews. I thought HR was nice until I got rejected by an automated email at midnight, which I thought was rude because I didn't receive any feedback, and I was invested in the process. Anyway, by this point, I had accepted a position elsewhere.
