Pros

The benefits package is not bad, it's better than not making any money at all, and the name brand recognition is a good thing to have on your resume when you move on to a better company and position.

Cons

Too many negatives to list. Overall just a horrible work experience with low morale everywhere due to extreme micromanagement. I took my job skills elsewhere, increasing my salary from the over 30k I made at Geico to over 65k at my current job, and I'm eligible for a promotion to 75k in Fall 2012. I am well educated and hardworking and I came to make nothing short of a long-term career at Geico but they were more concerned about tracking my bathroom time (trust issues much?) and squeezing every breath I took into something they could quantify on a daily spreadsheet. I am exponentially happier and more productive since leaving that place and many of former coworkers did exactly the same thing.

Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
