This company is fantastic. Family friendly. Smart leadership. It's going places.

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting full-time

ProsI believe the leadership team at OnPoint really truly cares about its employees. They care about growth and are working very hard developing new business.

ConsTakes too much time for the leadership to make personnel changes. One bad apple.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

ProsGood teammembers that seem to be very willing to help.

ConsMicromanagement by people that may or may not even understand what you're working on. You're just a body in a seat sometimes.

Advice to Senior ManagementMake sure the management understands the area they manage so they can do so competently.

Growing company for growth-minded, hard-working people

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Arlington, VA

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting

ProsYou can do anything here as long as you work hard and think outside the box. Management is totally accessable to all levels of management. Frequent corporate events open to all employees allows everyone the ability to communicate with other project staff, including the president and other members of the leadership team. OnPoint pays bonuses to all levels of staff for outstanding performance and hard work. This is a family friendly company with emphasis on staff retention and quality of life.

ConsManagement sometimes allows under- and non-performers too many chances to fail, when they should be removing them from projects and positions quicker to make room for quality-driven employees.

Advice to Senior ManagementEmploy performance metrics at all levels of staff, not just senior and middle management. This will improve hiring and firing decisions.

Midsize company growing

Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting full-time for more than 3 years

ProsBack off support - excellent benefits and pay - Management there to support you and make you very successful with the client - company is trying really hard to grow.

ConsThe BD dept. I am not happy with their win ratio. I believe they need more writers on staff constantly responding to RFI and RFP. It is a numbers game, they more you submit the more you should win (with quality submissions).

Advice to Senior ManagementWith growth offer company profit share or even corp shares

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Failing company

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting full-time for more than 7 years

ProsThe pay is very good, however, it is difficult to be happy with very good pay when the company is failing in its tasks.

ConsEverything is about dollars. They have turned government contract work to less about the contract work, and everything needs to be accounted for, monetarily.

Advice to Senior ManagementDo your job, do what the customer wants you to do, for the price you agree on.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

A company that allows you to achieve results and be successful for the future

Project Manager (Current Employee)

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting

ProsExcellent back off support - To include hiring, HR, tech support and project analyst. The company does everything they can to make you successful with the client.
Vacation - Policy has changed but I get 15 days year
Management - Very open to suggestions. Excellent support and there when you need them

ConsSome Politics - Just trying to be honest here by telling you that every office has politics. But you if do your job your not going to have issues. I not have an issue with politics because I don't let myself get rapped up into that.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart opening up more positions where we can see the growth potential. I know it is there, just show it to everyone.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Not a positive work environment, too much politics

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at OnPoint Consulting

ProsAble to take time off when needed.
People are generally nice and friendly.
Compensation thru salary and benefits equal to or better then most other companies (and negotiable)

ConsCompany doesn't seem to have a business plan or know how to communicate it to its employees
Leadership Team has bi-monthly meetings, but no one ever knows what goes on behind the closed door... everything is always very "hush hush". Very secretive
Lots of politics, everyone talks behind everyones back -- if you come here watch yours!

Advice to Senior ManagementBe more transparent in decisions that are made
Talk more about the plans for each year -- what we are looking to do as a company, strategic direction, etc...

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
