GEICO

Thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia for supporting local children! We are so proud to contribute to replacing equipment that will help the organization continue its important mission. 

Last week, we joined over 20,000 tech professionals, students and innovators at #AFROTECH24. Partnering with AFROTECH and attending their annual conference connects us with emerging talent who are shaping the future of #GEICOtech through digital modernization and tech transformation.    This year’s conference was held in Houston, Texas, giving us the opportunity to give back to the communities where our employees live and work. With the help of our charitable partner, Shoes That Fit, we distributed hundreds of pairs of shoes to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston. As part of our ongoing partnership with the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program, we donated a refurbished car to a local resident in need of transportation.    At GEICO, we are invested in innovation and empathy, and are committed to developing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment both within our workplace and in our wider community.    See you at AFROTECH 2025!

As part of our #LifeAtGEICO series, Ann Yeung, our Head of Engineering, speaks about the importance of empowering #WomenInTech and how leaders can commit to building teams where women can thrive.    “Women especially in leadership roles, you have a lot of power to elevate and to be advocates, to be sponsors… But I think it starts with really being centered around the intention to elevate women.” - Ann Yeung, Head of Engineering at GEICO.   We're hiring engineers and leaders at all levels across Product Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, Cybersecurity Engineering, Data Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.

This Veterans Day, GEICO is excited to announce a new partnership with Operation Homefront, an organization that works to give stability to veterans, active service members, and their families. We are proud to honor our longstanding support of the military community through Operation Homefront’s work to help military families receive the food, housing, and financial assistance they need to thrive.   As one of our many initiatives supporting service members and veterans, hundreds of GEICO employees will be volunteering with Operation Homefront's Holiday Meals for Military Families program, and the GEICO Philanthropic Foundation will also provide new shoes to over 500 children through Shoes That Fit. We are so thankful for our courageous veterans, whose bravery has helped keep our country safe.    To learn more about this partnership, visit our newsroom: https://lnkd.in/evZEVzUA   #VeteransDay

Meet Kate M., Senior Tech Services Specialist at GEICO and U.S. Army veteran. In 2010, Kate suffered a great loss when her daughter unexpectedly passed away. By miracle or fate, she made an unexpected friend in a place she least expected it. In 2022, Kate was attending a Veterans Day luncheon at her office when she was introduced to the Western New York Heroes (WNYHeroes Inc.) nonprofit. Their “Pawsitive for Heroes” program connects veterans with service dogs named after fallen soldiers. Through their program, she took home her very own service dog, Abby, who has become her best friend, accompanying Kate to the GEICO office each day. The story of Kate and Abby finding each other is a truly inspiring example of the support within the military community; after Kate was able to meet the mother of the U.S. Army soldier who Abby is named after, they formed a lasting bond which Kate cherishes to this day. At GEICO, we are proud to support our employees with disabilities, both within and outside of the military community. Today, Kate is a member of GEICO’s Achieving Beyond and Lifting Expectations Employee Resource Group (ABLE), volunteering her time to the group and educating leaders on the importance of service animals for employees’ mental health. “I’m grateful to be able to bring my military experience to my civilian role here at GEICO. I’m also grateful to GEICO for making strides to improve associates’ mental health and walking this journey with me.” - Kate M., Senior Tech Services Specialist at GEICO.

So much of technology is about exploration: finding the problems you’re passionate about fixing and working with a team to discover new solutions. At GEICO we are proud to have innovative leaders like Ereletheia A., Senior Manager of Metadata Engineering.   As part of our Life at GEICO series, Ereletheia talks about the importance of collaboration and mentorship, both personally and professionally. GEICO is committed to ensuring that all our employees are supported through mentorship, professional development, and leadership opportunities.   “I wanted to be the person that I didn’t have. I wanted to be a mentor for other women so they can look around and see this is something we can do as well.” - Ereletheia A., Senior Manager of Metadata Engineering at GEICO   To learn more about technology careers at GEICO, visit careers.geico.com  #LifeatGEICO #WomeninTech

We had a wonderful experience as a participating sponsor at this year’s Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC), the world’s largest gathering of women and nonbinary technologists. More than 30 employees and leaders from the Tech and Talent Acquisition teams were at the GEICO booth, networking with potential candidates and sharing information about our tech-centered workplace.   This year, we started a new hiring initiative that gave candidates the opportunity to interview with GEICO at GHC and potentially walk away with a job offer in hand. We are thrilled to share that we made 30 offers at GHC and are excited that new technologists will be joining the GEICO team.   One of our favorite parts of the conference was the popular session led by our very own Head of Engineering, Ann Yeung, who reflected on the evolution of her career and empowered participants to consider how they can take steps to shape their careers. Listening to Ann speak reminded us of the core purpose of the Grace Hopper Celebration: for women and non-binary technologists to learn and grow from each other.   To learn more about GEICO | tech visit geico.com/tech.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of GEICOween, we decided to bring back our classic “Horror Movie” commercial. The success of this ad led to the creation of 20 more commercials over the course of several years, launching one of our most successful television campaigns of all time, “It’s What You Do.”   The "Horror Movie" ad was so popular with viewers that it even found its way into a Stephen King book! Many things go into a great GEICO commercial: actors who commit to the bit, the creativity of The Martin Agency and our in-house team, but most importantly, an understanding of hidden yet resonant truths.   “It conveys so much about your brand and what you stand for — that whatever endeavor you take on, you’re going to do it with passion and craft in mind.” — Tom Perlozzo, Director of Brand and Creative at GEICO   Though "Horror Movie" is funny, it reflects the seriousness with which we take our marketing. Whether it's through horror, humor, or both, GEICO juxtaposes universal truths and unexpected scenarios to connect with customers and breathe relatability into insurance.
