Pros

Depends on team and the people who you work with

Cons

>> The less we talk about this company the better. This review is not about its call center business, but about its IT operations "Maximus Federal" >> If you are working for a client and the project extension is delayed, you are not paid. What if all the employees resign, are they going to hire new ones and send as replacement, once the contract is awarded. >> Lay off immediately after a project is finished, unless the employee finds a suitable position at a different client / with in the organization in a short span. >> No health insurance for the first couple of months when you join this organization (No talented people would join here). All companies strive to take care of their employees, here it is the other way.

Pros

Remote, adequate training and guidance and usually everything /software works - minus regular hiccups.

Cons

Not too many - a few misunderstanding s about training classes and roles but overall, not bad.

Pros

Had a few really exceptional coworkers

Cons

One reason I was hired was to bring in new ideas and work approaches; however, when I tried implementing anything new, some of the “old school higher-ups” would balk and were never open to anything new or better. My management just looked the other way and didn’t support me. As for training, I wasn’t offered much in the way of onboarding other than being told to read a lengthy “standard operating procedures” document. No real opportunities were offered to shadow anyone so I could learn in real-time. A typical work week was 60+ hours and often stretched to 70+. It was exhausting and demoralizing. The job was not sustainable and I’ve never been more relieved to be done with a place. I cannot recommend Maximus as a place to grow your skills or to give your time. Turnover seems to be relatively high at Maximus and there are far better places to work.
