      Unprofessional Recruiting Experience and Poor Communication

      Several roles
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pros: None experienced (the team members I met were polite during the event).

      Cons

      I attended a GovCIO hiring event in Springfield, VA, for the new U.S. Coast Guard support contract. I applied for multiple roles, met several senior leaders, and had what seemed like positive conversations. I was even told to plan on a possible start date no later than October 1. After the event, I followed up professionally via email to thank everyone and provide my contact information. Weeks went by with no clear communication—only vague updates like “things are busy,” “waiting for customer approval,” or “let it run its course.” Six weeks later, I was told all the roles had been filled, and only then received an automated notification that one of my applications had been canceled.

      Strong Team and Direct Leadership

      It support specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team to work with. Everyone was dedicated and reliable. I felt like I could go to anyone on my team for assistance, knowledge transfer, and guidance. Direct leadership was informative, checked in often, offered growth opportunities, and guidance when needed.

      Cons

      Company felt too large and focused on immediate growth of company and less on employees. Opportunities for growth were there at times but was difficult to leave current role or branch out to get a feel for other areas of interested. A lot of jobs are based on contract status. Company puts strong bids for contracts and renewals and sense of job security was always there. When contract status was negative company was not as helpful in finding employment elsewhere within company. I had a strong desire to stay with company and continue to serve the client or other government agency. HR would instruct you to look on the internal job board. Eventually had to move on.
