Pros
You may meet people from other companies who actually know what they are doing.
Cons
Everything else. Do not work for this company unless you enjoy constant stress and anxiety. It’s not the nature of the work; it’s 100% the company. Other companies working for the very same clients on the very same contracts do not have these problems. Read the reviews for GovernmentCIO - very same company; they recently changed the name. The company was acquired by a private equity firm shortly after I joined, and it went rapidly downhill after that. The turnover was stunning and very difficult to manage. Shady leadership from the top down; didn’t feel like I could trust any of them as far as I could throw them. No practice leadership. Training benefit is a joke with so many hoops to jump through it’s not worth the bother. Lackluster pay, terrible benefits package; PTO and sick leave have been combined with no additional time added to compensate. No company culture or sense of camaraderie to speak of, and it becomes even worse during contract renewal season. Pray you are on a team with contractors from a different company that actually know what they are doing. Lost a huge VA contract that resulted in dissolving 13 teams, many of whom had to find employment elsewhere. It’s just a rotten company to the core.
