Golden Key Group Review

Pros

Somewhat flexible work schedule. Starting salary is pretty good, but like most government contracting jobs, it caps out.

Cons

I dealt with management who were incredibly unprofessional and throughout my time at Golden Key Group. I endured harassment and bullying. Once reported, I felt the issue wasn't taken seriously and my manager was very hands-off about the situation. No room for advancement or career growth.

Pros

Nice offices if you work at Corporate location and want to impress government clients. Otherwise, prepare to buy and bring your own laptop and supplies. A lot of empty office spaces paid for with federal government awards.

Cons

- Management is very ineffective-- reactionary, no strategy or vision, very poor communication. - Management is so aggresively focused on 'Winning' the large government contracts (exploiting their Women Veteran Service -Disabled Small Business status) with very little concern or attention as to how projects will be properly executed and results delivered to the clients. - Management pulls people off assignments and projects with very little thought about overall strategy, team, and project delivery, blames remaining staff when projects fail. - Smoke & mirrors culture, deception is rewarded. - No acceptable technology to effectively support client engagements, that require data security and encryption. - Hire staff on under the guise as Full-time employees and valued members of the team, yet immediately treat them as loan-staff or contractors, and let them go with no notice, damaging individuals professional reputations.

Golden Key Group (GKG) works diligently to address employee concerns, and has an open door policy with regard to employee needs. GKG is dedicated to ensuring effective communication and collaboration throughout the organization. While GKG understands not everyone at headquarters shares/shared the same vision for the company, GKG management believes it has a strong strategy for growing and improving the company, both at headquarters as well as with our staff in the field. While GKG was previously a woman-owned and service-disabled-owned business, GKG made a strategic decision to forgo its set-aside designations almost one year ago. GKG believes in transparency, and makes every effort to accommodate its employees, and keep them informed with regard to their consulting positions. GKG is proactive in developing strong relationships with Government clients, and delivering quality services. Additionally, GKG takes every necessary measure to ensure appropriate data security and encryption. While GKG cannot anticipate the longevity of employment with every person, most GKG employees, both at headquarters and in the field, have been with the company for years. GKG is a niche government contracting/consulting professional services firm. GKG’s headquarters is appropriately staffed for the space it maintains, particularly given its growth. GKG is dedicated to its employees, cares about their career paths, and works to provide education and training to further advance its employees.
