Pros

Opportunity to help serve Veterans and those of the most deserving demographic. Remote working culture (this was the only reason why I stayed as long as I did).

Cons

Everything about GovCIO is a con, from the sub standard health insurance to the limited PTO, to the staff, leadership and meaningless townhall meetings where they boast about profit earnings which never funnel down to the employees. GovCIO pre-merger was a wonderful place to work, now it's an employees nightmare.

Be Forewarned - Not your best option.

Pros

Compensation is reasonable. The defense Business President is very good.

Cons

Most notable problem is senior management. Program staff at junior levels may be spared temporarily but if you advance, watch out for unreasonable, unprofessional behavior. Micro management in some cases, unrealistic expectations in others and false accusations to cover their own real or perceived errors was rampant. Witnessed 3 staff at the VP level or higher who quit or were relieved of duty that were good, solid performers and respected professionals at other companies. Not the situation at GovCIO. Also saw firsthand that unprofessional behaviors were tolerated by the executive team. There was no appetite for learning at these levels to grow the organization and new ideas, even those that supported growth for the company and work-life balance for dedicated employees were rarely listened to and actually disregarded outright.

This company does not care about its people

Pros

The clients are the best part of the job. I managed to land on a fantastic client team with the VA but I feel more supported by the client than by GovCIO. Remote work is a definite plus though they are talking about taking that away.

Cons

It's a contracting company, plain and simple. They care about winning contracts and that's about it. Senior leadership is completely out of touch with staff because the recent merger with GovCIO and Salient made it so that we have too many employees for the company to handle. Employee trainings that were promised as a new benefit have not been delivered on. Benefits are a joke (we went from Blue Cross to Aetna because they didn't want to pay for decent employee benefits for the new influx of people). We won't even have performance reviews this year because corporate is so overwhelmed with the amount of people that they don't have the structure or the people to be able to coordinate the reviews. This company is a mess and the turnover is only going to increase. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
