I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GEICO (Macon, GA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied on Wednesday and had the initial phone interview on Thursday. After talking with a recruiter of some sort, I was scheduled for an interview at Geico on Monday. They tell you to be prepared to stay 4-6 hours and trust me, if you really want the job and you do well, you will be there for awhile. The first phase was a typing/multitasking computerized test. If you pass that, to go on to read over some of the information you filled out on your application and answer some questions about things you would like or wouldn't like about your specific job or the job environment. The next phase is to meet with someone from the hiring time to answer some behavioral questions; "Tell me about a time" type things. They type up all this information and if things go well you move to the next phase which is a telephone role play. You go in a room and there's a packet you have to read and understand in 20 minutes. You do three role plays and then that same hiring manager evaluates the role plays, types it up and determines whether or not you go to the next phase. If you get lucky, and you do well, you get to go to the floor associated with what job you'll be doing and shadow someone for roughly 30 minutes. After that, you meet with a hiring manager who asks you more in depth questions. This is the interview that you should be honest and really explain yourself. afterwards, they speak with other managers and if they like what they hear, you're hired.

Question 1
How will a past job or experience help you in this job?
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 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.
