It was a stepping stone

Pros

It depends on the contract and the management. The contract I worked on was relatively large, and so the management was relatively relaxed. Other contracts may have been different, though.

Cons

No clear management or standards for many things. No SOPs. I did not feel particularly valued beyond my output. I had to commute a long distance almost every day.

Pros

Salary ranges, benefits and Programs you can participate in

Cons

Management insecurities and ambiguities. Skip level is offered but well taken by lower management. Leadership not willing to give you the space to communicate but conclude from other's input only. You are not allowed to speak with HR for the smallest of questions. HRBP appear to be Director level only and are unavailable otherwise.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding communication and accessibility to leadership and HR. Creating an environment where employees feel heard and supported is a priority for us, and your input helps us identify areas for improvement. What you’re describing is not how the employee experience should be; we encourage you to contact the HR leader directly to discuss further so we can understand the roadblock you’re facing to resolve the communication channels with HR. We’ll continue working to enhance transparency and ensure employees have the resources they need.

Pros

Remote based company is a plus

Cons

You are a contractor and most likely won't work directly with your GovCIO team so you have to give multiple types of work updates every other week

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you find the flexible work environment to be a pro, as many of our other employees do as well. We understand that working on client contracts can sometimes mean less direct interaction with the GovCIO team and additional reporting requirements. Your input is valuable, and we’re continuously looking for ways to streamline communication and strengthen connections across teams.
