Pros

Good schedule, good life balance, benefits are good they're a little pricey but they're still good. It's easy to reach out to your manager or HR person but just don't expect them to do anything

Cons

Honestly I was surprised after reading all the other reviews from the other Maximus employees, that many different offices have the same issues. So this has to be a Maximus culture thing, not a location thing. Advancement in this company isn't always based on skill level or experience. The very same people that have had multiple complaints brought against them are the ones that are just raved about being the best. How is that possible? The ones that work the hardest are seen the least. If you just want to do your job and not worry about growth, don't worry about it. But if you want to grow, know this you will need to have your brown nose game ready. It's sad that in this year of 2025 we still have this. Management is blind to the faults of their faves and take concerns lightly. When you have worked with somebody who is problematic and you hear your manager or above saying how great they are. Makes you wonder what are they looking at? This is demotivating.
