Pros

Okay salary Okay management Okay benefit covid19 vaccine push - not mandated, but "strongly encouraged"- as of August 2021 Nepotism. In June 2021, president, COO, & CFO all resigned on the same day at the same time. Praveen Bahethi became Acting president. Om & Sara Bahethi, SSAI Founders and the board members sent out a letter in pdf to notify changes in senior management. It is confirmed by a manager that Praveen Bahethi is a son of Om & Sara Bahethi.

Cons

Okay salary Okay management Okay benefit I don't have anything more to add, but glassdoor keeps telling me to write more (minimum 15 words in "cons" section).

No growth, low pay, toxic culture of incredibly insecure people set in their ways

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Science Systems and Applications Response

At SSAI, we are committed to providing the resources needed for every employee to succeed - from career development opportunities and mentorship, to ensuring our benefits and compensation are at or above industry standards, to creating an environment where everyone feels included and heard. Our door is open if you need us. We sincerely hope you will reach out to us so that we can assist you in advocating for yourself and helping to improve your situation.
