Pros

Work from home is available twice per week. There is some flexibility for appointments or personal emergencies, but in practice the workload often makes it difficult to actually take time away without it accumulating or shifting onto other hours. The policy exists, but operational demands frequently limit how usable it is in reality.

Cons

Poor management, zero camaraderie or company culture, and an unreasonable workload. Compensation is below market, there’s no 401(k) match, the health plan is weak, and training is practically nonexistent. Beyond the already poor compensation and benefits structure, there are no additional benefits of substance offered to employees. The operation feels disorganized, resources are limited, and senior management is often dismissive while offering little in the way of actual solutions or support. It feels like these issues trickle down from the top, although it is difficult to say for certain given how disconnected the CEO and VP appear to be from their staff and day to day operations. Expect to spend 9-10 hours a day glued to a screen while managing an excessive level of stress that inevitably follows you home and impacts your personal life and family. The work-life balance is effectively nonexistent. If you plan to take PTO, expect to still be working during your time off. Senior management has perfected the corporate script of telling employees to “enjoy your vacation,” likely as a way to shield the company from liability, but in practice there is constant pressure to remain available. Most employees, myself included, end up bringing laptops and phones on vacation because fully disconnecting is not realistically possible.

Pros

Most of the people that work there were great created some great friendships and met some wonderful people.

Cons

If you are considering an opportunity at SAI, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. I was recently terminated without cause for simply performing the duties I was hired to do. The company culture is deeply toxic, driven by an upper management team that leads by fear and frequently retaliates against employees. Middle management is equally ineffective, lacking the necessary skills to manage people or resolve workplace issues. If you do interview here, use any offer letter you receive as leverage for a position at a different company. During my time there, I witnessed more than eight people fired without cause, creating an environment where employees were too terrified to speak up. Operationally, the company runs entirely on an ad-hoc basis with zero long-term planning and a stubborn resistance to modern ideas. To compound these issues, compensation is roughly 35% below industry standard, the health benefits are subpar, and there is no 401(k) match..
