Low Stress, Interesting Work, but in the Boondocks - Senior Software Engineer Systems Alliance Employee Review

Pros

you get a lot of autonomy to execute your work, which is a mixed blessing perhaps because you also don't get a lot of attention either if you are unsure how to approach what you are doing so you really need to scream for help in that case; opportunity to switch work to another business area (e.g. Professional Services to Software Products); relatively low stress environment

Cons

location, location, location; processes taken for granted in larger organizations, particularly timely reviews and feedback, are a struggle; projects are too small so projects managers end up managing lots (5-10), rather than one to three large projects; lack of integration and focus between business areas where one eats into the other's revenue rather than providing opportunities for synergy

Pros

Joining the SAI Digital team has been a great career decision for me. There is a lot of room for growth for motivated, passionate, hard-working individuals. The workplace vibe is professional, but everyone knows how to have fun, too. Everyone is just generally really nice. This is a great environment to work in if you enjoy collaboration and working as part of a team. We work hard to meet our project timelines and deliver flawless work to our clients. Despite the fast pace and deadline-driven environment, there is tremendous amount of support and flexibility for outside responsibilities—e.g. having a family, needing to pick up a sick child from school, etc. Leadership is supportive, but also the team itself. I've never been made to feel guilty for needing to balance outside obligations with work, which is rare in the corporate world. Perks: casual dress code, breakfast on Fridays, personal laptop, and company-paid health insurance. Traveling to various cities across the US to visit client sites is a great opportunity, too. Also the Digital team is pretty freakin' fun to work with. :)

Cons

Company culture vs. team culture varies due to lack of a cohesive overarching SAI brand. At times it is difficult to see where SAI Digital fits into the SAI organization. Limited paid holidays; the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve should be included, in my opinion. Benefits for dependents an d families is not competitive.
