Insurer ranks No. 6 among extra-large employers on Houston Business Journal Best Places to Work list

GEICO's Katy office is one of Houston's best places to work, according to its own employees. The insurer ranked sixth among extra-large employers on the Houston Business Journal's 2026 Best Places to Work list, which is based on confidential employee surveys.

The Business Journal recognized 83 companies at its Best Places to Work Awards luncheon on Nov. 5. GEICO was honored in the extra-large category, which includes Houston-area employers with more than 400 employees. Quantum Workplace conducted the surveys, which evaluate factors such as leadership, communication, development opportunities, recognition, flexibility and innovation.

"Our Katy employees have built this office since it opened in 2014, and this recognition belongs to them," said Yvonne Obeng-Curwood, head of claims service operations at GEICO and Katy campus leader. "They support each other and serve our customers every day, and it shows in how they describe working here."

GEICO has deep roots in Texas. The company was founded in Fort Worth in 1936 and is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. The Katy office opened in 2014 and is home to 1,700 employees.
