Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. reviews

Left as the company was about to be sold - I've never seen an acquisition of that type that went well in the end. The way it all went about felt very under-the-table as well. Could and should have been dealt with far better. See Pros - while my group/overall experience was challenging but reasonably rewarding, most of the junior technical people I knew at SPA were not happy. There is also a lot of carrying other that goes on in projects. Generally you'll have a couple at the same time, so learn quickly which PMs and employees you like working with, and request to be on their projects constantly. I didn't receive a single non-cola raise while working here. When I left after a few years, my next employer's offer was ~70% more than my total compensation at SPA.

They underpay. A LOT. And they aren’t willing to come up to market rate, particularly if what you do is niche. They also really really love Navy veterans which, generally, is great; it’s less great when they pass qualified people over for promotions for the Navy vet who either just got hired and doesn’t know the project but supposedly “knows the client”. It makes the whole thing an old boys club.
