I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GEICO (Indianapolis, IN) in Feb 2015
Interview
I filled out the application on a Sunday and I had an email to set up a phone interview the next day. The phone interview was fairly brief, really just general questions. After that, I was set up for the first interview where you take a multitasking test and typing test. Everything was pretty easy. I was then moved along with an HR rep where we went into more detail about my previous employment and things of that nature. He told me at the end that he would recommend me for the next step, which was job shadowing and a meeting with some of the managers. I got a call to set that up, went in Wednesday of that week and did the shadowing. After about an hour of that, I went into a conference room with three different managers. This is where they really go into detail about job history, why you want to be at geico, ect.... I explained to them that I was currently a server and they practically made fun of me right then and there. It was very rude. I answered the questions to best of my ability and they left the room for a few minutes. When they came back in they told me to wait for a call sometime next week as they had more people to interview. They said it would either a yes or no phone call. They were very patronizing about my current job and cracked jokes about it the entire time. Currently, still waiting on a phone call. So not sure if I'm hired or not yet. Overall, not a great experience.
There are two rounds. The first round is virtual and they ask about your background and if you can handle the process. For the second-round, You will shadow someone for 20 minutes then proceed for a 40 minute interview. There are a lot of situational questions.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GEICO

Straight forward. There are 2 interviews, must pass 1st to get 2nd. 2nd interview is more detailed and is on site. 1st interview is via zoom. 2nd interview about 45 minutes to an hour
I applied online. I interviewed at GEICO (Tampa, FL)
Interview
It was a weird process, first it was on zoom and my interviewer told me to turn off my camera because of the bandwidth issues. Then she asked three questions and provided me the job description and the hours. She then asked me if I was looking for other work and If I was currently working. I did tell her that I am currently working and she told me that I have enough time to provide my current job a two weeks notice. After the interview she told me that she was going to endorse my application for review. Then she sent me another email saying that “Your recruiter will be in touch with you for next steps”. Then in the middle of night not even 24 hrs, I get a generic email saying that I was passed on. I wanted to find out why did I get an email saying that a recruiter was going to contact me, then I passed on from someone else. This was a customer service position and during the interview she told me that I have a lot of experience. I just didn’t like during that interview I was given false hope. I would not recommend applying to this company.
