The interview process was generic and disappointing. I knew this wasn't going to be the company for me, or anyone with a family for that matter, after these interviews. I had two phone interviews. The first recruiter did not even give me her name, and spoke so quickly as if she had memorized a script and had to blurt it all out. Since the job description did not mention schedules, I inquired about what shifts were available. They repeatedly asked me if I was able to commit to being as flexible in my schedule as the business needed, and that I would probably be working random night shifts for up to 18 months until I could then work my way up to a "better shift," but that it could change on a weekly or monthly basis. I asked what it looked like to grow in this company and apparently as new opportunities open up you are expected to apply for them - EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME STATE. I mentioned I could not relocate and they said it "wouldn't count against me but they would have to note that on my file." The more questions I asked about the actual position and what training was like, the more bristled the interviewer got. I felt this job posting was a bait and switch compared to the actual details of the position. The interview had little to do with my skills, abilities, or work experience. They were more concerned about classes I took in college and if I could working nights and weekends. This program seems best suited for someone who has all the time in the world to devote to spending every hour of their day tied to an ever-changing schedule and who can relocate across the country at a random moment's notice.

If we called your past employer, how many days would they tell us that you called out for unexplained reasons in the past year?

Went through one 30 min and one 60 min phone interview and 2 assessments. Both of the phone interviews were so faceless and it was just question after question. After all that, I wake up to an email saying I wasn't moving on to the last round. Such a Micky mouse organization.

I applied for the MDP program in the Tristate area at the end of March. As I was prepping for the interview I looked on Glassdoor For tips but from my experience I believe a lot of our experiences will be different depending on where you are applying as my interview timeline seemed to be a little different from some reviews I read. So don’t depend on these reviews to be the exact same interview experience and timeline. One thing i will say is even though the process is long they move through the process fairly
Quickly so as long as you are also applying for other opportunities it won’t feel like such a dragged out process. Most of the time you will get feedback the same day you complete a step. I also did not do a pre recorded hire vue video interview like some people did on here.
1) Contacted by recruiter to send transcript and availability for a preliminary phone interview.
2) spoke with recruiter about general overview on program, reviewed experiences on my resume, why geico and touched on brief leadership experiences from past jobs. Also talked about general job behaviors like how many times were you late and how many times did you call
Out? I suggest answering these as if you never called out or were late because if you answer otherwise you will be called out for it.
3) first sent behavioral assessment with a virtual
Customer service simulation. The next day i was sent the caliper assessment that goes into detail about your personality management style and logical questions.
4) few days later after calipher I was invited to compete a second phone interview a week later where they asked me situational STAR questions and about where else I’m applying and how does geico compare to My other options. This interview seems like they want to get to know about your management style, more in depth information about your leadership experience and how interested you actually are in this position. During this call The interviewer let me know immediately i will be moving on to the next step in the process which is a manager interview.
I’m not sure if this is actually the last step or if this will be role play and then a final interview but from the wording it seems like this will be my last step. But my advice will be don’t depend on these reviews to give you the exact timeline on what to expect because it may differ depending on which location and MDP track you’re applying for. Just be honest and be yourself and don’t overthink it and you should do fine. This is my second time applying and I’m doing very well compared to the first time i applied two years ago and the first time i didn’t make it past the initial first phone interview. So if it’s meant to be and you don’t overly prepare you’ll do great! But don’t overthink it :)
Tell me about a time where you had to work with a customer who received news they didn’t expect to hear or a time where you dealt with a difficult customer

Had a great interview with the interviewer, and then I was sent tests to take. I took one of the tests and felt I did well, but I was unable to take the second test due to a glitch. I attempted to contact the recruiter about this issue and she did not respond again.
