Pros

Insurance is much more interesting than you think, with a lot of tricky challenges. GEICO has a lot of great people who work for it.

Cons

Just found out my job would be eliminated. GEICO constantly bragged about how the company never does layoffs. Stability was a major reason for working for GEICO. Then I and 80 others modeling and research associates got laid off in October of 2021. GEICO was never competitive on salary, and those left are being asked to do more and more disrupting work life balance. If you have options as a Modeler or Data Wrangler, then you have better options than GEICO at this point. Companies that lay off "research" associates are communicating they don't care about the company's long term future. This and many other changes started when Todd Combs became CEO a few years ago.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
