Pros

I have a mixed experience with this company. It seems like your experience here will depend heavily on the contract you are on and who management is. The job is easy enough, and you’re left alone for the most part if you’re doing your job. There are many other higher positions available in the same building with other companies so it does make it significantly easier to move to those positions, especially since they seem to prefer hiring people who are already in the building with clearance.

Cons

management does seem to play favorites, at least on the contract I was on. Sometimes promotion is merit based, as it should be, other times it seems favorites get promoted. Disciplinary action is basically nonexistent, so when someone else isn’t doing their job don’t expect them to be reprimanded unless multiple people make it a big deal. Pay was somewhat low for the area we were in, yearly raises were given but they were very minimal, and getting a raise any other time was impossible unless you moved up in the company. It tended to be a revolving door, people came in, got a little experience then got fed up with management and went elsewhere

Pros

GovCIO wins a lot. These are really large programs with runway. Given the challenges of winning in Full and Open, there is something to be said for their ability to win. Its pretty fluid at the program manager and above level. Compared to other places I have worked, GovCIO is collaborative and tries to work things out. While not everyone can be picked up off the Mobility List, the contracts, hiring managers, and recruiters really make an effort to retain resources if possible. The pay is reasonable, the benefits are acceptable. The bonus plan is average and pretty opaque. Compared to the rigidity of some of the other Large primes I have worked with, GovCIO is pretty laid back.

Cons

There are no good government contracting options right now. GovCIO routinely beats long term incumbents whose customers are looking for change. If you are unhappy about the offered salary during a transition, you might consider your role in finding a better position. The work is what it is. This is not high end IT or software development in most cases. And, there are plenty of opportunities to identify improvements to save time and money for your customer. The opportunities are there for pretty much any role.
