First, they conduct a phone interview which should last anywhere between 10-20 minutes. If you get past that, they will invite you to take a computerized test designed to assess your "ability to multitask" and "computer skills". After that, you will interview with human resources where they will ask questions in regards to your work history, availability, how you deal with difficult situations, etc. If you say what they want to hear, you will get past this part and move on to the next phase of the hiring process which is the role play scenario. This role play portion of the hiring process consists of you completing a couple of tasks similar to the responsibilities of the position you apply for. They provide you with information regarding a fake insurance company and you receive phone calls from people pretending to be customers of this company. Here, you are being tested on your interactions with customers, multitasking ability, and interpersonal skills. Afterwards, you are asked questions in regards to your opinions of the exercise and you can expect to hear from them via e-mail or phone call in one or two business days regardless if you are selected to move on in this arduous process. If you are selected to move on, you will be expected to shadow someone who has the position you applied for and after that you will interview with the specific department you would be working for if you got the position. If they like you, then congratulations! If not, don't be upset about it. There are "plenty" of "job opportunities" at other companies. Hopefully, other companies won't force you into an absurd process like this. Good luck to anyone who reads this regardless if you are applying for Geico or another more worthy company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: How did you overcome a difficult situation at work?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GEICO (Houston, TX) in May 2025
Interview
It took 1 month all together from 4/16/25 to 5/13/25. Pretty lengthy process.
Step 1: 30 min behavioral-situational based assessment. The type of assessment they had me take really didn't have much to do with the actual role which was a tad bit frustrating.
Step 2: 30 minute interview. Be prepared to know your job history. The recruiter began by discussing the role, training expectations and she asked some behavioral questions. There are 2 role play scenarios. I know I did well in the interview, I was told by the recruiter she would endorse me to the hiring manager however on 5/13/25, I received a rejection letter 2 weeks after the interview (after being told it would take only 1-3 business days to hear back) which is disappointing considering I was qualified and I interviewed well.
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
Discussed work history....Why did you leave your previous role? Describe your day-to-day tasks? What is your level of interest in this role?
Scenario- As a metric/goal, you've had 8 out of 10 calls error free and the goal is to have 9 out of 10 calls error free. How would react to that situation?
1st role play scenario- customer is upset because their claim was delayed by a month. customer has been calling to check status of claim for a week.
2nd role play scenario- this was one was kind of unclear but it was something about an offer for Geico Express Services for a customer to get quotes for repairs, repairs done and a rental car in an all-in-one location, how would you communicate this offer availability to the customer?
The interview process was extensive to the point of being ludicrous for what the role entails. Thankfully I did not move forward with this position and am now making about TWICE the annual salary I would have made at Geico for a far less stressful job. The most laughable thing about Geico is that they want you to have a bachelor's degree to earn the salary of a middle school dropout. Love yourself. Do not use your 4 year college education to make 22 dollars an hour. I have an associates and am doing far better. Also, hair follicle tests prior to employment? That's a bit much. What a ridiculously demanding company for a pittance of a salary. I strongly feel that this is where lost people go when they don't know what to do with themselves. Again. You can do better.

Question 1
I don't recall specific questions, but I do recall a ridiculously long "mock work" assessment over video chat with some recruiter watching my every move in silence. If this is how they expect people to excel, their work environment must be incredibly toxic.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at GEICO (Seattle, WA) in May 2022
Interview
Employer sent me an email requesting me to answer a WOPT. Then another email to do a situational judgment test online - easy. Then another email requesting a phone interview - 20-60mins.
