Pros

Used to be, Geico was loyal to employees who worked hard. Even when technology changed, they would retrain you - not anymore!

Cons

Associates who had high PA's were let go - no rhyme or reason, particularly the business analysts. They have expanded upper management (VP's and Directors) hiring them from outside the company (Capital One) when there were qualified individuals form within. The former culture is gone.

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.
