Pros

High-growth company, opportunities for exposure to executive leadership, interesting to see the intersection of policy and the real world. Most positions require helping others in some way.

Cons

C-suite is the definition of 'old boys club' - white, male, grey hair across the board (current leadership has done a great job shepherding the company through strong growth, however). No clear org structure and thus very difficult to advance past a certain level in the company, even though more executive-level personnel due to company's growth. No real attempt to develop bench organically. Sometimes it seems HR policies are intentionally left murky to make it hard for personnel to have full information available to them.

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.
