Pros

Great people to work with usually, decent stepping stone. Company will help you get certs or higher education (now this used to not be the case.)

Cons

benefits are mediocre at best especially considering PTO is 5 hours per pay period (Every 2 weeks) you get no sick time your PTO is your sick time the pay isn't really worth it considering you are IT and the amount of work you do as a field service engineer there is not really any room to grow and even if you do the pay isn't significant enough to warrant movement within the company unless shooting for the stars. there are a lot of cons vs Pro's it's great for a stepping stone.

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.
