Bowhead

I’m directly responsible for project management, forecasting, planning and making financial recommendations to the SEC Intelligence Station Branch Chief with direct support to the Pd-TGS of DCGS-A for the currently fielded software 2.0.X baseline.  I ensure that all certifications such as the IATO/ATO, CoN, LWNM, CENTCOM 25-28, Theater ATO and AICs are current and are properly planned, budgeted and prepared for prior to the RDD.  I am also responsible in assisting in support of planning of purchases, contract renewals and sustainment of third party software COTS and GOTs.  I am the liaison between the SEC and the Life Cycle Manager of the AN/TSQ-179D (V) 2 TGS as I have experience in working at the PM under the RM&L Chief.  As the subject matter expert on the design, configuration, and functionality of the DE-CGS systems, both hardware and software, to ensure that systems updates are designed and developed to work optimally and efficiently.

Bowhead is a pretty great company to work for. They are very respective of remote work, and I've never had any trouble getting help even though I am not in an office. One of the best things about working at Bowhead is the lack of micromanaging. I know the tasks that I need to complete, and as long as I get them done in a timely manner, my manager leaves me to work. Insurance could be a bit better, as it is a high deductible plan. The hardest part of my job, is also the best part, which is being a remote employee. It is the hardest part, because you are missing out on the human interaction part of a job, but it is the best, because it gives me a sense of freedom, and work/life balance. 

I was a contractor, so I did not ever really have any in person contact with the Bowhead team or management. I interacted much more with my on-site boss who was not directly affiliated with Bowhead. As part of my duties as a contractor, I had to submit a weekly log of activities performed and the time it took to do each branch of activity. Other than the daily log and time clock, my duties were largely to the office I worked at instead of my contracting company. I never called in, so I never had to deal with that process. If I were to have called in I would have needed to inform my on site boss as well as my contracting supervisor. I really enjoyed the office I worked in because it was a pretty laid back atmosphere even though the work itself was pretty quick paced.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to get hands on experience and opportunity to be hired on with the government.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I haven’t had a stressful day, I feel I have challenges, but if you don’t get those, it won’t change you to learn to excel.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone I work with is very great on trying to mentor you and get you to be able to learn everything that you possibly can. They love to share the knowledge if they have.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day changes day by day, depending on what motions come in it’s always something new to learn every day. That’s what I love about the challenges.

I’ve been working for Bowhead for awhile and it really depends on who you work with, what contract you’re on, and what your customer is like. Much of leadership has become questionable (often hiring externally instead of promoting from within). Many people who work here are friendly but just as many will stab you in the back. The culture has shifted dramatically over the years and feels less and less like a family and more like a family you never want to see. 

Worked with bowhead for three years never received a pay raise. Was actually contracted through SAIC. Two companies two emails, no one wanted to help, laptop never worked. No one listens to the employees actually in the field, decisions are made by people who have no idea what goes on. Put in two weeks notice NOT ONE PERSON from either company attempted to contact me. During my two weeks, tools that were supposed to be ordered 3 yrs ago finally showed up. Repairing, licensing, and they wanted me to add maintenance classes also but no pay raise. Attempted to come back was told I wouldn’t be re-hired because of late fee on company credit card. 

Working for Bowhead was an amazing opportunity for me.  A typical work day was very rewarding.  I was granted the opportunity to work side by side with some of the most amazing people who worked diligently with compassion to accomplish goals in the workplace.  I learned how working with others is one of the most important skills to possess in the workplace. Bowhead was a great place to work.  A place filled with great managers and a great work environment.  The job experience with this company is indescribable.  The work was not hard because everyone worked together to make sure we accomplished goals set for the task at hand.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Government contract support. Some employees are on the gov’t site, others remain offsite at the company facility.

The senior management is great, however not everyone gets along well. There are still some little kingdoms that exist. Also Bowhead is setup like no other company I have ever worked for in the past when it comes to IT & trusting employees. There is a family atmosphere that is promoted by senior management but gets lost at the director level. At times it seems even presidents are powerless to get something done. All in all my only complaints would be the healthcare benefits and IT.
