Pros

Growth and career potential in a competitive market. Plenty of opportunities to work your way to the top and even transfer to other projects in other states. There's no "glass ceiling" of upper management. If you work hard and perform, you will succeed.

Cons

State projects are subject to non-renewal, so you move with the company out of State or you leave the company. Because the company is project- based, the company as a whole can seem really siloed.

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.
