SRA International reviews

SRA used to be one of the best companies to work for. Now they are one of the worst. They have once again cut our benefits to "be more competitive", yet have not touched the Sr. Management incentive bonuses a dime. They have just announced (with two weeks before it takes effect) that they are lowering vacation by five days and capping it at one times the annual rate RETROACTIVELY. In other words, if you have been trying to save vacation time because they keep laying off employees, you are essentially not going to accrue any more leave until you get down below the cap. This change, in addition to the changes to the floating holiday structure, has effectively lowered the employees compensation by 10%. Seeing as they have been capping salary increases to 2% over the last few years, that means they are paying you less then what you were paid four years ago.

SRA used to have a reputation as one of THE companies to work for. This is no longer true. Many changes in policies and cuts to benefits have made it a company not distinguished from any other Beltway Bandit. Employee retention programs are non-existent and HR is worse than useless - management has forgotten it is cheaper to retain than recruit. What used to be a company where one could build a career has become nothing more than a body shop. What's more, despite their motto being "Honesty and Service," in my time there I saw more dishonesty and disservice done to the clients than in any other position I've ever been in. Project, program, and corporate management all work to create an atrocious environment of mendacity, fraud, and cronyism to the detriment of their employees and clients.
