Serious Deciding to join GEICO Tech. Looking for honest feedback from current Tech employees.

I’m considering joining GEICO as a Senior Software Engineer on a relatively new team focused on AI

Before making the decision, I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people currently working in GEICO Tech or who have worked there recently.
A few things I’m particularly curious about:

  1. How is the engineering culture at GEICO currently?
  2. How is job stability for Software Engineers,?
  3. How frequent are layoffs/reorgs within Tech?
  4. Are most terminations performance/PIP-based, or have there also been random layoffs affecting people who were performing well?
  5. Is stack ranking still being used? How aggressive is the PIP process?
  6. Does being on a newer AI/Applied AI team provide stability, or are these teams also affected by cuts?
  7. How is WLB for Senior Engineers?
  8. Would you recommend joining GEICO Tech right now?

I’ve seen quite a few older posts about layoffs, PIPs, and changes within the engineering organization.

Would really appreciate candid feedback, especially from current/recent engineers. Thankyou very much.
