GovCIO

Working at this company has been a rewarding and valuable experience. From the first day, I felt welcomed by a supportive and professional team that encourages learning and growth. Management provides clear communication, realistic expectations, and is always open to feedback, which creates a positive and respectful work environment. Training is well organized and gives employees the tools needed to perform their jobs confidently and efficiently.

The company places a strong focus on safety, quality, and teamwork, making it a great place for individuals who want to develop real-world skills and build long-term careers. Opportunities for advancement are available for employees who show dedication, strong performance, and a willingness to learn. Co-workers are reliable and willing to help, which makes daily tasks easier and more enjoyable.

Overall, this company offers stability, fair compensation, and a professional culture that motivates employees to do their best work while growing personally and professionally.

A typical day at GovCIO involves focused collaboration across remote teams, clear priorities, and meaningful work supporting veterans. I’ve learned how to lead with empathy, manage complex programs, and navigate federal systems with precision. Management is supportive and communicative, encouraging autonomy while offering guidance. The workplace culture is inclusive, respectful, and mission-driven—everyone genuinely cares about the impact we make.

The hardest part of the job is balancing multiple priorities across sub-product lines, but strong systems and teamwork make it manageable. The most enjoyable part is celebrating milestones with the team and knowing our work improves lives.

This review is contract-centric  - all contracts are different with different leadership, PMs, and culture.  I worked on a couple contracts withe the same PM, who is nice but inconsistent, very reactive.  Instead of planning and engaging all the parties, he would make snap decisions and not tell everyone. Plenty of people left out regularly, promoting a chaotic environment.  When faced with the customer demands, he will say Yes to anything and reassure them in the most confident manner.  He will say whatever it takes to anybody in in the moment.  He is this secretly called The Used Car Salesman.  He is a nice person, and We all wondered what GovCIO saw in him from a management standpoint, but it prompted my departure, as I knew this second time around that I would have to spend most of my time trying to figure out how to work around him while he stirred the pot.  A shame, bc it looked like GovCIO was otherwise a decent place to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You never know…it’s always changing and so what I do today will usually change within a few days. Challenging and frustrating but also lets me use my mind so I’m not bored.

If you care about your mental health don’t work here. This job is a call center with little to none IT characteristics. There is no upward mobility or room for growth. You’ll be mostly taking calls and doing tickets. The managers get angry if you can’t balance the high call volume work to work tickets . They also place emphasis on metrics rather than their employees mental health or wellbeing.  The customers themselves are either the nicest or meanest depending on the issue at hand. Lastly the technology itself is extremely terrible everyday there’s an issue with no permanent solution. If you wish to learn IT you’ll be better off somewhere else. 

I have worked as a consultant for numerous federal contractors and I would never want to work with this company ever again. The lack of communication between departments caused a lot of misunderstandings and it became very frustrating. Any benefits, pay, and HR related questions were handled by separate centers that did not know how to communicate with each other. If I had a question regarding an HR matter my questions/concerns would be bounced from one person to another for days. Also, wage is too low for the type of work provided to the client.

Program Directors promise compensation, promotion, bonuses that don't occur.

Blame game and over tasked and unrealistic expectations i.e., doing 2 -3 roles that are expected without compensation.

Unethical practices by Program Directors by removing staff, transferring poor performance staff, and no supporting program managers/project managers and staff.

The ability to work from a couple days a week.

Boring with a lack of challenging work.

You are working for customers, so they dictate the work.

After GovCIO purchased SalientCRGT, company I was working for, things began to fall apart. There is no leadership and what resembles it plays favorites of those who are "yes men". In my over 20 years of experience I have encountered many management styles. However, this one might be the worst. Yelling at people, be it face to face or over video conferences, is horrible and I personally witnessed it. No way I would recommend working for this company, ever.
