SRA International – “A Case Study in Corporate Personality Disorder”
Pros
- A generally collegial environment.
- Solid benefits package.
- Senior management's commitment the company's core values of Honesty and Service is genuine, especially when it comes to customers.
Cons
- Recent leadership changes and back-and-forth shifts in stratetic direction have resulted in a company that seems to constantly ask itself, "Who do we want to be"?
- Senior leadership's seeming refusal to accept responsibility for its decisions has eroded employee confidence in leadership. But for a still uncertain labor market, even in the DC-area, many employees would likely see if the grass is greener elsewhere.
- Employees located at customer sites are too often invisible, though, in fairness, management seems to make an earnest attempt to enhance outreach to all employees.
- The 401(k) match and Employee Stock Purchase Plan are the weakest elements of an otherwise solid benefits package.
- The company is not the benevolent employer it would like employees to believe it is.
- Recent senior leadership changes, including a couple highly visible internal promotions, are questionable.
Advice to Senior Management
- What was wrong with being a highly regarded small- to mid-size federal contractor? Instead of providing a well-defined set of offerings and delivering quality results, the company seems to want to be everything to everyone and hopes it doesn't screw-up too badly.
