Pros

Getting paid twice a month. 401k match. Some talented coworkers.

Cons

Micro management is gradually getting worse. "Mean girls" leadership group. Between January 2025 to June 2025 they quietly laid off over 300 people. Only 1% yearly raise. If you're not a part of the popular kids in school you'll feel ostracized. Mean leadership has no problem throwing you under the bus to cover up their mistakes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and take your concerns seriously. Annual salary increases vary based on several factors, including individual performance, contract terms, and client budgets. We understand this can be frustrating, and we’re always open to discussing compensation questions directly. Our leadership team is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment. If employees ever feel otherwise, we strongly encourage reaching out to HR, we are here to listen and address any concerns confidentially and constructively. While contract changes and cancellations are an unfortunate reality in federal contracting, we make every effort to notify the impacted employees as early as possible. Our Internal Mobility list ensures affected team members receive priority consideration for new internal roles so they can continue building their careers with GovCIO. We appreciate your contributions and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We highly encourage our employees to provide feedback to the company, and have various ways to do so, including directly to their Human Resources Business Partner or the HR team in general. We do guide and train our managers on performance management for their employees and have an internal mobility program employees can engage with if interested in mobility within the organization. We have also been expanding our learning and development resources for employees to be able to better guide employees seeking mobility within the company. We use employee feedback to assess and take actions on where we can make improvements moving forward, so please let us know if you’d be open to providing more specifics on your feedback for us to do so.
