Pros

SSAI goes out of its way to connect to employees. As a government contractor where many employees work on-site at government locations, this is challenging. Staff are respected for their expertise. Management does a good job communicating with staff.

Cons

SSAI is in a transition phase. There has been a lot of turnover at the management level. As a government contractor, SSAI is vulnerable to proposal losses, which can result in job losses.

Downhill fast

Pros

You get to work with NASA and colleagues and managers are all interested and intelligent people

Cons

The company is going downhill at an exponential rate. Anemic raises to convince the government they aren't wasting money just increases churn which drives up the cost in the end. Awful communication from corporate when they make changes to internal tools without ever seeming to run them by the people who actually use them. IT help desk and configuration is managed remotely from India and the staff in the US is stretched thin fixing issues from that and can barely spare time for other projects that they're need for. Has lost several contracts in a row and is in limbo as two more are up for recompete right now. They seem to be spinning off orgs to have more diverse income streams without much success while also buying the C-suite new cars (for the company fleet of course) at a prodigious rate.

Going Downhill

Business Outlook

Pros

Was supposedly a wonderful company for many years that prioritized employees being able to work effectively. Most benefits are fairly good.

Cons

Company has lost contracts, shrunk or outsourced the IT department, and seems more focused on public relations and having the Latest Greatest Thing™ whether it be corporate vehicles, touch screen TV's for the meeting rooms, or a brand new way to keep track of employee 'goals'. The company is very top-heavy with a large C suite while still seeming directionless. Also, only a half match for 401k? Who else even does that anymore?
