Awful - werkgeversreview Regional Manager bij NIC

Friendly/Helpful employees. Schedule and salary.

I do not believe there are any cons.

Overall, NIC is a company that cares about and supports its employees. I have a great work/life balance with a flexible schedule and ability to work remotely when needed. They are willing to send (relatively) junior resources to conferences that other companies would normally send high-level executives. The federal group is a pretty small and very collaborative team that enables everyone to both lead and support opportunities. Also, health insurance is covered by the company which is amazing.

Overall, I think NIC is behind in technology trends. They primarily focus on custom builds for each agency/project, which, considering their customer base of over 25 states and several federal agencies, is a costly strategy. By creating a different solution for each customer, NIC is investing more time and effort than would be necessary if they adapted a shared services model or used SaaS platforms that most agencies and companies are shifting towards. Because each state and federal agency is treated separately, NIC also uses different management approaches for each customer. This could work if there was an overarching approach that was adapted on a per customer basis, but instead there is no single set of governing principles resulting in a disjointed management approach. They are also pretty niche in capabilities in that they focus purely on using their no-cost model for citizen-facing services. This works for many cases - but not all - and they struggle to adapt/to be open to using other basic contract types like FFP and T&M. As a result, opportunities are fairly limited because they must meet very specific criteria.
