Pros

Small company where you can make a large impact if you are willing to work hard. They reward employees with bonuses and promote from within when possible. Good benefits.

Cons

Upper Management needs to give more direction to fulfill the mission of the organization on a contract level.

Postured for growth, with good benefits

Pros

Small company, stable infrastructure with 85% of business as prime contracts. They pay annual employee bonuses (rare these days) and their benefits are gold standard. They pay 100% of the deductible - unheard of in this day and age.

Cons

We have people in 18 states and Europe so it is difficult to have team building activities where everyone can get to know each other. But they do have 3 different holiday parties in 3 different states at really nice restaurants so most get to participate and socialize.

Not bad for a government contract company

Pros

Down to earth CEO - Wes Hester is probably the most personable guy in government contracting. Most contract companies only care if you're showing up to work so they get their pay, but Foxhole tries to add some humanity to it. Yearly bonuses: they do at least a little profit sharing at holiday time. It's not a big bonus but it's nice to have. Small-company feel - they still send out Happy Birthday messages to the entire employee list. It's a nice touch even if half the people you get messages for, you've never met, because they work on the other side of the country on a different contract. Good ethics. I have seen contract companies ask for some shady stuff about where to expense your time or how to pass the buck, but I have never seen Foxhole do that.

Cons

Low contractor pay: not unique to Foxhole, that's just the government contracting business, but beware joining them as a subcontractor instead of the prime on the contract. There is a LOT of money being scraped off the top of your salary before it ever gets to you. Awful insurance that covers little, plus the absolute mess of submitting bills for reimbursement from a company-funded HRA account was almost not worth the trouble. Little room for advancement - they pay a lot of lip service about outstanding service to the customer, but at the end of the year you're probably just going to get a small raise with no hope of promotion no matter what you do.

Foxhole Technology Response

Thank you for your review. We are very surprised that you indicate that Foxhole's insurance covers little. Most of our employees tell us that they are very happy with the level of coverage we provide. We have a Cigna PPO with no copays and Foxhole fully funds the employee/family deductible through a Health Reimbursement Account. To comply with the rules of the HRA you are required by law to submit receipts for auditing purposes. Foxhole attempts to grow contracts and help our employees advance whenever possible and do provide yearly raises and the potential to earn more through a discretionary bonus. We agree that we have great employees and are always interested in learning of new ways we can reward them!
