1) Online Application and Questionnaire: Go through the online application, submitting resume, cover letter, etc. From there, you will be sent a questionnaire. Here are most of the questions: salary requirements, long-term career goals, top three factors you are considering when deciding between different companies, why you are interested in GEICO, what motivated you to apply for this position, tell a story about why you chose your major/field, how will your skills/experience match up to the job requirements, talk about a relevant analytical project. They also ask for your SAT/ACT scores, which is weird. 2) Analytical test in Excel: They give you 2 hours and it took me the whole time. You don't necessarily have to know anything about insurance, but you should know about growth rates and be able to do algebraic things given some insurance terms. 3) Phone Interview: Overall pretty easy, just make sure you know about their direct marketing strategy and Berkshire-Hathaway. First question: "What do you know about Geico?" 4) On-Site Interview: You will have 5 sections of your day. First is a benefits overview with HR. From there, the order depends on everyone's schedules, but will consist of an interview with an Associate Actuarial VP (toughest part), a review of your analytical test, two interviews with managers (1 step above analysts), and a comped lunch with two analysts. The first question I was asked was "What have you done to prepare for this interview?" Make sure you know about their direct marketing strategy and why that makes them competitive. Also make sure you know some of the benefits of being a subsidiary of Berkshire-Hathaway. I kept getting asked how they would measure certain things (i.e. using the conversion rate, growth rate, etc.). It's a lot of hypothetical questions about the various situations Geico is put in, for example, if they know State Farm is doing something, how can they react/what things should they look at. Make sure to have questions prepared for each person.

I made it through the entire process and was not selected, but I can tell you exactly what the process is + questions you will be asked. Glassdoor was invaluable in preparing for this extremely long and unnecessarily strenuous interview process, so I am now paying it forward. The steps of the interview process were: 1) Apply online 2) Questionnaire 3) Analytical skills test typed up in Excel (NOT EXCEL OR INSURANCE RELATED) 4) Phone screening/interview with a current product manager 5) All day in person interview with approx. 5 different people, spanning something like 5 hours You can be filtered out at any stage, and I'll try to keep it simple with explanations. 1) Apply online - I submitted my resume online on GEICO's web portal, after finding the job listing on Indeed. I assume you only have to pass a few keyword searches here in order to make it to the next round. 2) Questionnaire - If you passed the first stage, a recruiter emails you and asks for more information in a fillable PDF form. It's for the most part the same information that you provided online, but some notable questions here were: "Please provide your SAT scores (lol)", "Why are you interested in GEICO/this particular position," "How do you believe your degree and skills/experience match up to the requirements of this position," and "Could you tell me about an analytical project that you have worked on relevant to this position?" Prepare to be asked variations of these questions multiple times by every single person you talk to during the interview process. 3) Analytical skills test - Contrary to what some of these people are saying for PMA interviews, there is 0 testing of insurance terms or in depth excel knowledge. Looking at my completed PMA test, there are multiple questions about growth rates (study this and know how to find rates of growth + present value), one question about the select SQL statement (basically that you know it exists), one about weighted distribution of values (aka don't merely take the average, remember to assign a weight to each territory), and a variety of basic algebraic manipulation. I literally knew nothing about insurance terms going into this and still managed to ace this test because I'm decent at math. 4) Phone screening - Covers a lot of the same territory as the questionnaire. MAKE SURE to research GEICO as a company prior to this portion of the process, as the first question will be "what do you know about GEICO?" I basically just recited everything I memorized off of Wikipedia. Oh and don't forget that GEICO is the #2 insurance company and growing at a rate of 10% each year. 5) All day in person interview - Each person covered a different portion of my credentials. The first guy was really cool, it was a really relaxing and personal interview, nothing too strenuous. Second guy was socially awkward and gave no indication that he was listening to my responses to his questions. Some of the questions asked here will pertain to your educational history + specifically any classes you did poorly on. Make sure to make up some BS about what the class was about + make a good reason as to why you didn't do your best on it. Third is a comped lunch with a couple associates. They make it really awkward by trying to ask you questions about your resume while you're eating. Fourth part is going over your analytical skills test. Just make sure to pay attention here and pretend like you care a lot about what you got wrong + the right process of thinking. Lastly is an interview with a morbidly obese lady who asked the most ridiculous/out of nowhere question. "What do you know about Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway and what are some benefits of GEICO being a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway?" Basically, just Google that beforehand and surprise them when you have a well thought out answer to their stupid question. Oh, then she also asked a situational question: "If we have information regarding the last two years, what factors should we look at when considering giving a discount to current State Farm policyholders in order to entice them into switching over to GEICO?" Basically just think it through and defend your answer. Apparently GEICO is thinking about actually implementing this --- watch out, State Farm. I didn't get the job, but the benefits seemed great. 4 days off a year, no 401k matching, and profit sharing that only kicks in after you've been there a year. It seems like the entire interview process is meant to find reasons to weed people out as opposed to getting talented people to help build their company... which is probably why the turnover rate for the PMA position is so high. Anyways, good luck! :)
