"I've worked at the GEO group since 2018. There is plenty of room for growth and opportunities to learn from your peers but limited support from management which can effect those on the team who require constant direction"

GEO Group Employee

"I have worked with GEO for over 2 years. As per usual with large companies, they are slow to fix things and are disorganized. However, they are much more efficient than the State or Feds. Their IS security is one of the lowest that I have seen. Their infrastructure is shoddy and new facility equipment is bought without much thought. At the facility level, the environment is very friendly towards MIS if you have a good team despite the onerous workloads."
