Great work/life balance. You will be farmed out to support a particular program and report/work there. You will fall under a Task Lead that is 'responsible' for you, but really another employee who communicates to the PMO and disseminates information to the contractor team in the program you support. 

Your 'customer' is the government you work hand and hand with and establish a great rapport with. Con: You won't be able to charge time for moral events and teleworking isn't really an option.

Your work schedule core hours is 9-3, name of the game is to hit 80 hours in 2-week pay period and communicate with your direct team on your schedule...ZERO micro-managing! Most work is in a vault, so take that for what it's worth! Salary is competitive among other companies IMHO. You will get paid every 2 weeks like clockwork. Benefits available and competitive with other companies and matching 401k option.

Supporting the war fighter with GS/ military, and other contractors as one team. 3 years and counting working for HX5. All in all a great gig with opportunities to grow, just communicate with your Task Lead. 

HX5 is a great company to work for.  I've learned so much in the short time that I've been here and it's experience that I probably wouldn't have been able to acquire anywhere else.  My supervisor is phenomenal.  She mentors all of us in her department and allows us to grow and acquire new skills.  She is not afraid to get down in the trenches and work just like the rest of us.  She truly defines leadership.  The company overall is great and the executive management is very hands on.  Although we're offered a multitude of benefits, I can only attest to the 401k because that is the only one I chose.  Coming from a company that did not match contributions, having a company match some of our contributions is very refreshing. I enjoy working with everyone at the corporate office, especially my department; we are a very cohesive unit.  The culture is fairly laidback but the dress code is business.  My department is locked away in a separate building and we don't have any interaction with the public so I wish the dress code was a little more relaxed; but that is the only "complaint" that I have.

HX5 is a great company to work for. They are accommodating with your needs and respectful. Most places you find a position in will be a great fit, with one glaring exception. 
Never, under any circumstances, should you work under the the MPSC III contract at Hill AFB. The MPC is the most toxic and untenable place I have ever had the displeasure to work at. Fortunately, this is not the fault of HX5, but the head company of the contract, Summit Technologies. Until the contract changes, do not work there if you value your sanity.
As long as you heed the above, you should have a wonderful employment experience with almost nothing to complain about. In this regard, it is the best company I have ever worked for. My other position as an SSR was amazing and fruitful. Management within the company is the best you'll find. Their HR department was nothing but kind and understanding.

I held a financial management role with a government contractor supporting a federal agency. While the job offered stability and a steady income, it fell short in terms of meaningful responsibility and career development. The position was largely administrative, with limited influence over strategic decisions or opportunities to lead initiatives. Despite having a strong background and leadership experience, I often found myself underutilized and disconnected from the broader mission. The organizational culture felt stagnant, with little room for growth or innovation. For someone looking to stay busy without much pressure or long-term ambition, the role might suffice. However, those seeking to make an impact, grow professionally, or take on a leadership path may find the experience unfulfilling.


The company truly cares about their employees and does their best to promote from within.  That isn't the easiest thing to do since most of the work in on a government contract but when available it seems they do a good job of moving people from Journeyman positions to Senior positions instead of just hiring from the outside.
The mission HX5 supports is vital to getting the newest Airframes to support the warfighters.
The workplace is fun, but definitely mission focused...as it should be.

HX5 as a company works very hard to create a corporate culture in line with there Mission Statement.

HX5 is dedicated to validating the trust our customers place in us. We are committed to excellence, applying years of practical experience to high-quality services and solutions that meet our customers’ needs, satisfy their expectations, and exceed their goals. We do this by carefully listening to you, our customer, so that the solution you receive brings precisely the value you expect.

This is a small company that has seen a great deal of growth in the past four years. In my time here, I have seen the leadership take steps to assist the employees when they can. I have seen them take recommendations from the employees and implement these recommendations when possible. I have also seen the company promote from within on multiple occasions and that is refreshing. It has been a very impressive experience.

This company lied during the interview that training would be available for the position. When I started my own teammates wouldn’t respond to my emails for process and procedures to help learn the job. There was no training plan available and they were upset that I couldn’t learn the job without training. Money was good but not worth the stress of learning a complex job without any resources. 

I worked as a government contractor. The government customer was amazing, however, HX5 wanted to overrule what the customer needed from us the trusted experts. 

For example, direct government supervisors didn't have any issues with us doing flexible teleworking or hours; however, direction from the company was the opposite. 

I never had issues with PTO, Pay, Military Leave, Travel, Holidays, etc.

HX5 places people within US Government teams.  There is little if any interaction with the HX5 organization.  They simply provide payroll services for work performed for and on behalf of the government.  Reimbursement for directed travel is much harder than it should be.
