Washington, DC

Former Employee – worked at IAP Worldwide Services full-time for more than a year

Pros-If you have the experience and personality, they will want to get you right away
-Provide the client with quality work

Cons-some places, you have to learn to have "ten hands" to get work done: in other words, you don't have enough personnel to get some work done in the alloted time
-upper management communication can be poor

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't be afraid to lose employees especially when a contract is about to end. Myself and others were informed we were going to be cut two weeks before the fact. Under the cotract we were on, someone told us there were going to be cuts every six months, then a retraction was issued. Then the 6th month was around the corner and we got the surprise of our lives two weeks before! It was the opinion of my immediate supervisor that some higher echelon manager was afraid to lose people before the first round of cuts, hey if you want company loyalty, even from alumni, you owe it to current employees that the end is in site in ample time.

Washington, DC

Former Employee – worked at IAP Worldwide Services

Prosthe money is good..that's it..

ConsThe IAP Worldwide Services group at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC has some very unprofessional people working there. They are ghetto and never follow thru on things that they were supposed to do, yet in the end, they blame the employees. Walter Reed is a very bad place to work for. The employees are backstabbers and are jealous when they find out that you have more credentials than them. In turn, this makes for a bad situation working for this IAP customer because IAP is just as professional! Don't work here, you've been warned..

Advice to Senior ManagementLISTEN to your employees and get the FACTS instead of placing emphasis on favoritism.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Kabul (Afghanistan)

Current Employee – been working at IAP Worldwide Services as a contractor for less than a year

ProsApparently they have a lot of work overseas and contracts with the Government. Their health benefit package its o.k compared to some other overseas companies. Just recently started and so far not so many pros to tell.

ConsPay scale is not the best and R&Rs are not great, 15 non-paid every 6 months for overseas contract work. If you end up de-mobing you're on your own, meaning that you pay your way back home.

Advice to Senior ManagementLead by example

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
