Pros

Decent number of paid holidays, 401k match, free coffee, attracts a lot of talent and has a number of smart people working for them

Cons

Does not value its people; hires people just to lay them off 6 months later; lacks communication all around; HR department focused more on bottom line than on being employee advocate; doesn't give one business model a chance before writing it off and starting all over; doesn't utilize employees' strengths (tries to make everyone cookie cutter 'ideal employee"

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.
