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.

What was once a great place to work has now gone down hill

Pros

Ability to teleworking Working with NASA

Cons

The entire administration changed during the summer of 2021 and the company took a complete 180. I can only speak for what happens internally but it's a MESS! Purposefully holding employees back in their career, looking for meaningless reasons to fire good employees (like not doing your timesheet for 2 days when busy). I also experienced the WORST micro managing of my life when my new boss took over. What was once a great company that cared for people is now on a major downfall. It says a lot when an entire internal department has a 90% turnover rate in less than 1 year because it's so bad.

Pros

They are somehow affiliated with NASA?

Cons

I would not recommend working here to anyone. The way this company does things is completely antiquated and backwards. Don't work here if you ever want to do anything new and innovative, because they've been using the exact same technology for the last 20 years and I don't think that's changing anytime soon. They stifle dissenting opinions and many managers are micromanagers on a power trip. Really toxic culture. Also the pay and benefits are laughable.
