Pros

Interesting Projects and talented colleagues

Cons

The company does not value its employees at all. There are no regular check-ins to see how employees are doing or to offer support. Instead, when things inevitably go wrong, management is quick to lash out and place blame rather than addressing the root of the problem. Leadership constantly brags about how much revenue the company generates, yet there's no effort to reward employees with salary increases or bonuses. It's disheartening to work hard and see no financial recognition for your efforts. To make matters worse, there's absolutely no budget for training or professional development. You're expected to grow and adapt on your own time, with no investment from the company in your skills or future. Overall, it feels like the company only cares about profits, not people. I wouldn't recommend working here if you're looking for a place that values its employees.

Pros

GovCIO wins a lot. These are really large programs with runway. Given the challenges of winning in Full and Open, there is something to be said for their ability to win. Its pretty fluid at the program manager and above level. Compared to other places I have worked, GovCIO is collaborative and tries to work things out. While not everyone can be picked up off the Mobility List, the contracts, hiring managers, and recruiters really make an effort to retain resources if possible. The pay is reasonable, the benefits are acceptable. The bonus plan is average and pretty opaque. Compared to the rigidity of some of the other Large primes I have worked with, GovCIO is pretty laid back.

Cons

There are no good government contracting options right now. GovCIO routinely beats long term incumbents whose customers are looking for change. If you are unhappy about the offered salary during a transition, you might consider your role in finding a better position. The work is what it is. This is not high end IT or software development in most cases. And, there are plenty of opportunities to identify improvements to save time and money for your customer. The opportunities are there for pretty much any role.
