Interviewed Mar 2012 in Woodbury, NY (took a day)
The interviewer was late for the phone interview, I had a 3PM interview and she was 15 minutes late. The questions were pretty neutral, however the interviewer did not seem like she wanted to interview me. The background sounded like she was outside and when I asked how was I did, she said there will an email within 5 business days. Once she said that I knew I did not get the offer.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Tucson, AZ (took 4 days)
The interview process was fairly quick. Although I have almost 10 years of retail experience and TONS of sales experience, as well as supervisory positions on my resume in both of those fields and they sent me a pretty generic email saying that they didn't hire me because my "background did not match their needs". However, I know they have hired people quite a bit younger than me with a lot less work experience. I think it has something to do with the fact that I have a degree and they would therefore have to pay me a higher hourly rate than someone without a degree.
I would like to work for GEICO, but if my resume doesn't SCREAM sales, then I have NO IDEA what they are looking for.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Buffalo, NY (took 3 days)
It started off with Geico emailing me almost daily asking me to come into open interviews. Finally I just went to see what it was all about. I went during open interviews so the whole waiting room was full of people applying. I went in the back and had a computer test and an initial interview (3 hrs), then they called me back to come that Saturday for another interview. This next one was role playing. I was given info sheets to memorize and then we did 3 mock calls. At the end of each of them she stated on the line and we talked about what I said right and wrong. I passed that. (2 hrs) Next, they called me back to shadow someone in the sales department. I sat next to him and listened to him for an hour. It was a loud environment, more like a frat room than a call room with all these men screaming over us and high fiveing. After that I was interviewed by 2 people. It was very unorganized. We sat im the middle of the call room while they interviewee me, they didn't know what they were talking about, didn't know what to ask or say, they couldn't have been too experienced in the department. They had to ask me questions over and over again because they were too distracted staring at each other to write down my answers.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Buffalo, NY (took 2 weeks)
So far I have done the paper application and the computer skills multi-tasking training which has been relatively easy for me. I also had to take a personality test to see if I am fit for the job. I passed both along with 4 other people. I now am returning back next week for the 1:1 mock call center interview. I'll let you know how that goes.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Macon, GA (took a day)
I arrived at Geico at 9:00 and waited with a group of 6 individuals. At 9:15 we were lead into a room where we were tested on our call center skills. We sat at a computer and callers "called" or "emailed" their claims and we had to enter their information into the system. We also had to trancribe a paragraph. Once I passed that, I was given paperwork to fill out. After that I waited in the lobby again for about 10 minutes until I was called to meet with an HR person. The lady was very friendly and we just did a general interview. After that I was sent to the lobby again and waited for another 10 minutes. i was then called back into the officce and I was to pretend to be a sales rep and sale a carwash service to customer (the HR manager). You are given 15 min to read some information on a mock company and then sell the service. After each "call" ( three of them) we are asked how do you think you did? BE PERSUASIVE AND SELL THE PRODUCT!! That was actually my downfall, they said they would have candidates with better selling skills then me, but she said my customer service skills were very strong and would like for me to interview for that. So I'll see how that goes tomorrow.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Macon, GA (took a day)
Applied online- received call next day to come in for testing the following day. Went in for testing at 7:45, passed and went in for 1:1 interview, typical interview questions: why Geico? Why did I leave previous employers? Voiced concern for my management experience( I would be "back-tracking" if employed with Geico) After interview then roleplay for sales position- took mock calls as sales rep. for car wash service provider. Found that I really am not cut out for sales but interviewer set up plans for customer service position-said that I was strong in that area. Go for roleplay for customer service position later today. Will post results later...

Interviewed May 2009 in Tucson, AZ (took 4 days)
Good company interview process was lengthy. Spent a lot of time waiting to talk to the next person, also lots of tests and practice role play. Overall a good place to work and a good company atmosphere. They are looking for team players who have the ability to learn their process.
