Entrevista
Another disappointing, unprofessional experience with GEICO. I had previously applied to the program at a different location. After being told I would hear back with the next stages, I heard nothing for over 6 months. I decided to try the application process again at the location near me instead. Big mistake. I applied online and heard back within 2 days requesting that I send my resume and transcripts. I immediately did so and heard nothing back for 2 weeks. Then I received another two emails, but instead of discussing the next step in the process, it was the same automated email requesting my resume and transcripts yet again. For the second time I sent in my information. I then received information to set up a phone interview.
The phone interview started off as expected with apologies being made regarding my previous experience and the recruiter saying she would check into what happened. I had made it to the point of attending testing the last time I applied and my information was indeed sent to the correct individual. The phone interview continued with very little having to do with my resume or qualifications. I was asked where else I had applied to. I mentioned a few and said "among others," but was questioned endlessly for more specific details. All questions were leadership based, which was to be expected. However, all of my responses never seemed to be good enough or the right answer. As this is an ENTRY LEVEL PROGRAM, you would think that questions wouldn't be so critical. I tried to relate my experiences both professionally and academically as best I could. Questions such as "What do you enjoy about being a leader?," "Talk about a time when you had to step into a leadership role." The recruiter continuously cut me off when I was trying to describe the situation. "I don't understand what you mean," "and how is that leadership related?", "no, I told you to be specific." Very rude and condescending. After about 50 minutes, the interview was complete. The recruiter said she would contact me within the next few days regarding next steps, and at the very least to tell me what happened with my previous application. A week passed by with no response. I received a voicemail soon thereafter saying that she was "waiting for more information." That was 2 weeks ago and I have heard nothing since.
GEICO is easily the least professional experience I have had with applying for jobs. This program is designed to train employees to succeed and excel. The qualifications are entry level based, yet you are belittled for lacking experience in leadership. Both recruiters I have experienced are robotic and condescending. Weeks and months go by without a response. It would at least be common courtesy to make a decision instead of leaving you in limbo with a response. If I were to be offered the position tomorrow I would decline.

Multiple leadership questions. "Tell me a time when you had to be a leader" "What do you enjoy about being a leader?" "What do you dislike most about being a leader?"

Went through one 30 min and one 60 min phone interview and 2 assessments. Both of the phone interviews were so faceless and it was just question after question. After all that, I wake up to an email saying I wasn't moving on to the last round. Such a Micky mouse organization.

I applied for the MDP program in the Tristate area at the end of March. As I was prepping for the interview I looked on Glassdoor For tips but from my experience I believe a lot of our experiences will be different depending on where you are applying as my interview timeline seemed to be a little different from some reviews I read. So don’t depend on these reviews to be the exact same interview experience and timeline. One thing i will say is even though the process is long they move through the process fairly
Quickly so as long as you are also applying for other opportunities it won’t feel like such a dragged out process. Most of the time you will get feedback the same day you complete a step. I also did not do a pre recorded hire vue video interview like some people did on here.
1) Contacted by recruiter to send transcript and availability for a preliminary phone interview.
2) spoke with recruiter about general overview on program, reviewed experiences on my resume, why geico and touched on brief leadership experiences from past jobs. Also talked about general job behaviors like how many times were you late and how many times did you call
Out? I suggest answering these as if you never called out or were late because if you answer otherwise you will be called out for it.
3) first sent behavioral assessment with a virtual
Customer service simulation. The next day i was sent the caliper assessment that goes into detail about your personality management style and logical questions.
4) few days later after calipher I was invited to compete a second phone interview a week later where they asked me situational STAR questions and about where else I’m applying and how does geico compare to My other options. This interview seems like they want to get to know about your management style, more in depth information about your leadership experience and how interested you actually are in this position. During this call The interviewer let me know immediately i will be moving on to the next step in the process which is a manager interview.
I’m not sure if this is actually the last step or if this will be role play and then a final interview but from the wording it seems like this will be my last step. But my advice will be don’t depend on these reviews to give you the exact timeline on what to expect because it may differ depending on which location and MDP track you’re applying for. Just be honest and be yourself and don’t overthink it and you should do fine. This is my second time applying and I’m doing very well compared to the first time i applied two years ago and the first time i didn’t make it past the initial first phone interview. So if it’s meant to be and you don’t overly prepare you’ll do great! But don’t overthink it :)
Tell me about a time where you had to work with a customer who received news they didn’t expect to hear or a time where you dealt with a difficult customer

Had a great interview with the interviewer, and then I was sent tests to take. I took one of the tests and felt I did well, but I was unable to take the second test due to a glitch. I attempted to contact the recruiter about this issue and she did not respond again.
