I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GEICO (Renton, WA) in Jun 2019
Interview
Very intense interview with several stages to it. There was a typing test that is relatively easy. There is a interview with the hiring specialist. That was very comfortable and down to earth. Then, there was an hour long job shadow, followed by a interview with the manager. This interview asked tougher questions, although the hiring manager was very nice and respectful. Overall, it is a pretty intense interview process and it is recommended to come well prepared.
