Pros

Had the opportunity to work here after I graduated college and learned a lot working with cloud based infrastructure.

Cons

New management came in and changed up a lot of things. Turnovers often. They came in and changed the organization of my team. Started to assign work that I have never worked with before because I work on cloud. After a number of layoffs, I finally got kicked. They were moving away from public cloud and was in the process of building out their private cloud. They invested so heavily in a specific public cloud provider, but it just seems like they want out now. Tons of applications are still hosted in the cloud environment around the time I got let go. Seemed like my role became irrelevant (along with a few others old-heads who knew Geico infrastructure inside out).

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
