One of the best small contracting firms in DC.

Pros

I've worked at 5 contracting companies in DC, and I can say that OBXtek is one of the best. They are always up front about the option year transition, which is great for peace of mind. I travel a lot and their process is very straight forward and convenient. Pay levels are above average, and they have been flexible with leave and telework options.

Cons

I wish the offered Metro SMART benefits, but many of their contracts are out of the DC area. They are a relatively young company, so certain policies and SOPs change more often than I'd like.

Fun & Focused Company

Federal financial management
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely casual environment, from the staff up to senior management. Low stress overall and can sit on a contract and go through the motions indefinitely. Decent exposure to federal financial management. Work/Life Balance was great for my position.

Cons

Compensation could be a little better but its what I accepted.

Pros

None. I cannot in good faith recommend working here.

Cons

I worked with OBXtek for over two years. I found them to be a very uncommunicative organization. The program management team that I dealt with was completely MIA. I wouldn't hear from my program manager for months at a time. OBXtek seemed to have neglected to factor in overtime into the contract so either you didn't work overtime and fell behind, or worked overtime and didn't get paid for it. There were no salary raises for the length of the contract, despite increasing costs of living. OBXtek misclassified my position (changed it at least 3 times), made significant errors on paychecks (I received huge late direct deposits since they had messed up..I am also aware that this happened to several other employees at my site...the Department of Labor was informed of this). I never had a performance review. I found the senior management to be condescending, rude, and dismissive of our concerns. The list goes on. The five star reviews on this page do not accurately represent my extremely negative experience with OBXtek.
