Pros

Clients respect you, not treated like a body shopper. Immediate access to a live SM&A person for problem solving. Management respects associates choices eg max duration deployments.

Cons

Expense reimbursement a bit slow. Concur not user friendly.

Thanks for being part of SMA for over 10 years! We certainly are not "a body shopper" type company--and constantly receive accolades from clients regarding the caliber of associates. Expense reimbursement is currently undergoing review. Our clients have become very sensitive to a variety of issues which may seem minor to associates but cause problems with the full financial cycle. Again, thanks for your comments and your years of employment. Ajay

Amazing Consulting Company

Pros

Staffed with the best and brightest talent, this company has the expert resources to help with any problem that you might come across. The small nature of the company allows for easy communication across levels. The company forward thinking takes advantage of technology to tie all deployed associates together. Every associate I have worked with has enhanced my knowledge and skill set in every area. The mentorship I have received has been unparalleled. A truly exceptional company to work with and for.

Cons

The deployed nature of the work can sometimes be tough. But, you do get to see different parts of the country.

We do have a reputation in the Industry as providing the "best and brightest talent." We are glad you find communication positive since that has been an area of deliberate attention (thus, Glassdoor) We continue to use technology to improve knowledge, communication and coordination throughout the organization--See the Employee Knowledge Center, TOD smart phone app and associate portal. As you see by the various pictures we post, associates are located across the country--glad you have a positive attitude about the travel. Many Thanks! Ajay

Pros

SM&A offers the opportunity to engage with a broad set of clients; from supporting a major defense initiative for almost five years to now supporting a mid-sized commercial airplane supplier. Also despite being deployed by yourself or with a small group; SM&A's corporate office has always managed to keep me connected and feel supported.

Cons

The toughest aspect is the constant traveling/commuting between home and your work site.

Thank you so much for your input. We continue to strive to keep employees connected and supported: our new company app, TOD was designed for this very purpose. Look at all the new information (About us) on the app-Our Purpose, Values, Principles, Company News, etc. One of our key initiatives is to continue to grow our footprint throughout industry. Thanks Maureen Maureen.murphy@smawins.com
