Pros

Has a good mission and emphasizes that with employees

Cons

Handled contract reduction poorly. Didnt consult customer regarding who to retain and cut based on cost only. Gives a big black eye to the organization as a whole.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s nice to hear you appreciate SPA’s mission and dedication to national security, but we’re sorry you feel this way about your experience. We understand that recent changes in the federal government may have created unique challenges for many contracts. Our leadership teams have worked tirelessly to try to remain well positioned and compliant with the changing landscape, while still maintaining our steadfast commitment to objective, high-quality analysis. While we recognize there may be some disappointment in the outcomes of certain events, SPA has never operated from a cost-first perspective and we respectfully push back against this characterization. In the face of forced contract reductions, SPA leadership has made extensive efforts to work in lockstep with our clients to ensure the best individuals remain in the best possible roles in order to achieve the mission. Employees affected by contract wind downs and changes are also encouraged to leverage SPA’s Workforce Mobility program and partner with HRBPs and management to navigate staffing challenges and locate open roles in the company that may be a good fit. Significant effort and considerations go into all workforce decisions, and SPA strives to offer affected employees numerous paths. We apologize if these efforts were not visible to you. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We encourage you to continue to address any further specific feedback with your manager.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s great to hear that you feel supported in your role and that you find our benefits to be great! Ensuring employees have access to both development opportunities and industry leading benefits remain top priorities for SPA management. We also understand that compensation plays an important role in work-life satisfaction and that the cost of living is a valid consideration. That’s why leadership regularly reviews market conditions, industry benchmarks, and contract restrictions to ensure we are offering employees the highest compensation rates possible. Additionally, HR has been working to develop and publish salary bands to promote parity within career levels, skillsets, and locations. We encourage you address any compensation concerns with your manager during your merit-based compensation reviews. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re pleased that you appreciate the networking and professional growth opportunities available at SPA! Over the last year, significant investment has been made to bolster growth resources and support for our employees, including the standing up of our Center for Development, Wellness Hub, and development programs such SPA Grow, APM/PM Boot Camp, and LEAD Manage. We encourage all employees to explore the relevant Nexus pages to make sure they're leveraging all the developmental opportunities available at SPA. The record-breaking government shutdown presented unique and unprecedented challenges for many in the industry, and SPA leadership, across all levels, worked tirelessly with both customers and employees to try to ensure continuity and calm within the organization. We understand that it’s possible not every decision was pleasing to everyone, but SPA employees were always front of mind when navigating the shutdown and we are pleased to report that relative to peer organizations, SPA fared exceptionally well. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, We will keep them in mind as we strive for continuous improvement and plan for other unique external events.
