Pros

The clients are the best part of the job. I managed to land on a fantastic client team with the VA but I feel more supported by the client than by GovCIO. Remote work is a definite plus though they are talking about taking that away.

Cons

It's a contracting company, plain and simple. They care about winning contracts and that's about it. Senior leadership is completely out of touch with staff because the recent merger with GovCIO and Salient made it so that we have too many employees for the company to handle. Employee trainings that were promised as a new benefit have not been delivered on. Benefits are a joke (we went from Blue Cross to Aetna because they didn't want to pay for decent employee benefits for the new influx of people). We won't even have performance reviews this year because corporate is so overwhelmed with the amount of people that they don't have the structure or the people to be able to coordinate the reviews. This company is a mess and the turnover is only going to increase. Do yourself a favor and look 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.
