Pros

Fairly easy to cross pollinate within contracts and they are in many sectors of government. Most sectors have workforce advantage and their for minimize government cuts, even though you have the regular contract bidding flows that all contracts have. Somewhat of a rapid hiring process.

Cons

Below industry standard in annual salary, raise. This is expected for government bidder. Only one of cycle promotion opportunity.

Our employees are our priority, and we are constantly looking for ways to engage with and hear more from our employees about where we are doing well and where we could do better.

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.
