Interviewed Nov 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
I had handed in a resume to GEICO at a career fair. A few weeks later I got a response via email to set up a interview over the phone. The interview went smoothly but their computer systems were down so the interviewer had to write it all down by hand and as such seemed to be a bit more aggressive as the interview progressed. After a few weeks I got a call from the Dallas office to attend an interview. This was a structured one on one interview.
After a few day I got an offer but the spot was for the sales side of GEICO which I am not interested in so I declined the offer.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Because I was not interested in the sales SLP position I was offered.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
General phone interview to screen for a face to face. Online application was standard with behavioral test. Phone interview questions included why you would want to work for the company, why would you be a good fit for the company, and past work experiences. I made a mistake in offering to do the interview while not fully awake and as such did not sell myself too well.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Getzville, NY (took a day)
Have an initial phone interview going over the basics of the job and resume details. What interests you about sales. Go to office and take a typing test and listening test, then one on one interview, then a phone skills test where you have 3 opportunities to sell something to the customer. Mine was a car washing service. I was then told I would be informed if the hiring process would continue.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Fredericksburg, VA (took 3 days)
I applied online, on Geico's website for the Customer Service, Claims position. It seems like they were doing a mass hiring. Over a weekend, I completed their application. By the following Wednesday, I received an email to complete a telephone interview. The next day I spoke to an HR representative. I was invited to complete computer testing and an initial interview. I came in, passed my computer testing,t hen spoke to yet another HR representative. The person asked me questions, like if I was looking for employment other than Geico, if I was planning to continue my college education, my high salary from my previous employment which was twice the amount Geico was paying. I answered truthfully. I guess that was a mistake. Around 13 days later I got the infamous mass email letter. See below:
Thank you again for your interest in pursuing career opportunities at GEICO. We appreciate the time you've spent getting to know our company.
Your application and the information you've provided have been carefully considered. Unfortunately, you have not been selected for: Claims Representative - Fredericksburg. However, please note that you may reapply after six months from the date your original application was submitted.
We wish you every success in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
GEICO Hiring Team
I was "disappointed" that they didn't consider my previous experience with a leading insurance company. I aced Geico's computer test. I really wanted to work there.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Bethesda, MD (took 1+ week)
I applied online and contacted by the HR. A phone interview was scheduled the next day. First I was asked to go over my esume. Then they give me two cases to. It went very well. Several days later, HR called me and scheduled another phone interview. The manager interviewed me this time. I was given a chart to analyze during the interview. I didn't answer the question very well and got rejected email after several days.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Amherst, NY (took 5 days)
I was contacted by phone after filling out a short application online. The phone interview was short and they asked why I wanted to work for them and why I think I would be a good fit. Basic questions, nothing too in depth. They scheduled me to come in for a skills test which included simulations of incoming customer calls and data entry. It was all very fast and I thought I had done well considering the circumstances. Once that had ended we were called out one by one to find out how we had done and I was told I didn't pass but could re apply in 6 months. I was surprised considering I had thought I had done well. Everyone I interacted with was very nice and not intimidating at all.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Fredericksburg, VA (took 2 weeks)
It started out with about an hour long phone interview, after which I was invited to the next stage and go to the office for testing and more interviewing. When I went for testing, it took about 4 hours and consisted of a multi-tasking ability test, a 1-1 interview, a decision making test, a personality test, and finally a role playing test. I was way over prepared. The tests were so easy anyone who graduated from high school should be able to pass them.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
None of the testing or in person interview was what I expected. I went into the interview with very high expectations for the job, and was prepared for anything they threw at me. However, none of the testing or interview questions asked me ANYTHING to do with my ability to be a manager/supervisor or a strong leader. It really seemed like the only thing they were interested in was my ability to work in a call center. I felt like if I took the job, I would not learn a single thing that would be beneficial to my career. The only thing I would learn from it was that I could work in a call center. If I wanted to work in a call center, I wouldn't have paid for my college degree in Business Management.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Getzville, NY (took a day)
They asked a lot of questions (typical education and job history background questions), asked about why I wanted to work for GEICO, why I applied for the claims position etc. You need to be very specific with past job dates and any employment gaps must have a valid reason. They will ask how many times you were late to work or called in. The interview was going great.....UNTIL the interviewer tried to persuade me to apply to a different position. It was MUCH less pay but he said that I could advance quickly. When I said that I appreciated him giving me the information, but preferred to be considered for the job I had actually applied for he became very short in his responses and rushed me off the phone saying he'll have to just forward my information to the claims department and hopefully they'll be interested and call me and ended the conversation. No call, email a few days later saying they didn't wish to continue the hiring process. Seemed shady to me.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Applied for the job. Figured I wasn't selected for the opening at the time because I didn't get a call for a few months. When I got the initial call, I had a brief conversation about the nature of the job, training, salary, etc. They just wanted to make sure I would still be interested. This is basically because they want you to travel for 3 months straight for training. I told them I was still interested, then they asked me to complete an IQ/skills test online. Completed the test, then had a phone interview. Then another phone interview after which I scheduled an in-person interview. This interview also consisted of a roll playing exercise. A few days after I scheduled this, I had to inform the recruiter that I could not take the job and did not want to waste any more of her time.

Reason for Declining
Saw the negative reviews on glassdoor.com. Also, could not travel that long for training.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Virginia Beach, VA (took a day)
I received an email inviting me for a phone interview after about 4 days- I scheduled the interview a few days in advance, I researched the company, read phone interview tips and prepared my responses- probably spending around 6-10 hours preparing for the phone interview, including reading every single GEICO interview on this site.
The female representative called me about 5-10 minutes after the scheduled interview time and proceeded to ask me about 11 questions before abruptly ending the interview after asking me about breaks in my work history (I have none) and saying she asked me all the questions that she needed to. She told me that she would pass me information on to the hiring manager and they would get back to me within 5 days- at which point I knew I wouldn't be proceeding on to the next part of the interview process.
I have an extremely negative view of GEICO and their hiring process. I'm a college graduate with 10 years in customer service experience, 2 years of management experience, and 6 years of sales- I feel I am qualified to at the very least get an in person interview. I will include every single question that she asked me just in case it might be of help to someone- she did not even ask me about my applicable skills at my previous jobs or why I was interested in the position, nor did she give me a chance to ask her any questions. I might have sounded a little defensive over some of her questions and perhaps didn't sound "chipper" enough although I tried my best. Again my view of the company is incredibly negative, the benefits are nice, but if they dont care enough about their candidates to give them an honest chance I do not see the point of working for or doing business with them.
