Pros

Most Employees at SSAI are really great people and awesome to work with. Pay is average, not the best.

Cons

CEO switch around 2021 led to a new CEO who's only in due to being the owner's son a classic case of nepotism. He has berated employees in Teams meetings in front of others, citing that someone "of his level" shouldn't have to reach out to the lower teams in order to oversee work getting done. A filing error that happened on his watch led to the company losing an entire contract and also led to mass layoffs. Join this company at your own discretion. Remote work has been gotten rid of completely, hybrid is an option but with current leadership expect everyone back in the office full time eventually. Finally, opportunities to grow are stagnant. Sometimes you'll be promised a higher position only for upper management to hire employees from overseas to fill those positions. During the layoffs they let go of several higher paid employees for new employees who did the same roles but had lesser pay.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, great people and coworkers. Working at a small business gives you access to all levels of the organization that you don't get with large businesses. You can just walk into HR or IT and get something done really quickly. The company has been around for over 48 years and has very mature systems. There were many company events which brought the employees together like ice cream socials, karaoke, Pi Day, annual holiday parties and summer picnics.

Cons

There aren't many but maybe the corporate offices could use some updating.

Pros

+ Access to NASA projects + Remote work contracts + Flexible hours + Scrappy C-suite

Cons

+ These folks seem to see staff as cattle with a cost+ bounty over their heads + They put their group managers in uncomfortable interpersonal positions + Company events feel like desperate attempts by the C-suite to check a box and appear like they care.
