Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you feel like more than a number here at SPA and that you appreciate your colleagues, opportunities, and benefits! Fostering a “one SPA” culture in which employees feel supported and able to pursue exciting opportunities is a key focus for leadership and a pillar of our continued success. Regarding PTO, our current policy combines PTO and sick days to offer employees more autonomy in how they use their time. We recognize this approach may be different than others; however, it’s important to note that SPA offers PTO levels at or above industry standards and allows for a portion of unused annual leave to be rolled over. Thank you again for your input. Feedback like yours is helpful as we strive for continuous improvement. Please feel free to also share further thoughts and ideas with your manager.

Pros

Great coffee machine in the main lobby...

Cons

They do not pay people what they are worth and they are definitely questionable in their values. They are still stuck in the old ways and hire and keep "advisors" that hamstring the company and way forward. The greybeards they keep are stuck in the old ways and do not see innovation.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are sorry to hear you feel this way regarding your compensation and experience. We understand the importance of feeling appropriately recognized for your contributions; however, it is important to note that SPA continually meets and surpasses defense industry benchmarks for compensation and benefits and we have been recognized as a top workplace by the Washington Post for 12 consecutive years – one of only 8 companies to achieve this recognition. We would also like to highlight that SPA actively invests heavily in innovation for our employees, workspaces, and capabilities. Through our Technical Innovation Initiatives (TII) program, enterprising employees have the opportunity to directly participate in this innovation. Over the past year alone, the TII program has resulted in the funding and standing up of over a dozen innovation projects, each of which was submitted, designed, and implemented by current SPA employees. Furthermore, SPA offers multiple career track options, including a Technical Leader track. This track provides those interested in contributing to strategic innovation a clear path forward in their careers, with the potential to become one of our Technical Fellows. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. We encourage you to address any specific concerns you may have with your manager.
