Systems Alliance Reviews

Pros

Over the years I have spent at SAI the owner/CEO and leadership have shown that they really care about employees and they regularly make changes to improve things. We have generous PTO and stock options now.

Cons

As a small company healthcare options are more limited but they do the best they can.

Pros

Everyone there wants to see you succeed. Not once have I felt like no one there cared for me. Every day I'm in the office the CEO and CTO go out of their way to talk to me.

Cons

Literally no cons about this company.

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.

Pros

Leadership is great! I feel they actually try to live the culture tagline: Hungry, Humble, smart. I've recruited for lots of companies over the years and all the good and bad at a company trickles down from the top. The leaders of this company care for their teams and their customers. They regularly discuss and live out the mission of solving problems for their customers and employees. They also happen to be top-notch talent! The people in general are nice, helpful, caring, and genuine. Their work is superb! They don't lose customers, because the customers know that everyone at SAI is on mission together to solve their problems. Everyone wants to feel like their solving problems in the world, and here you can do it. The company is at a great spot in it's maturity. They have both stability and lots of opportunities to make an impact.

Cons

Nothing major. Normal growing pains mostly.

Pros

Systems Alliance is a great place to work. The work culture is young and vibrant and everyone is pleasant to work with. Upper management is down to earth and see their workers as people more than just their workers. The whole team really makes an effort to develop relationships outside of the workplace, through various group activities. I could really see myself staying for a long time, while still being able to grow and develop my professional and personal skills.

Cons

The only con might be that it is a mostly male environment, but they are working to even it out as the company grows. The female to male ratio really isn't an issue though. It's a tech based company...

Pros

Being a smaller company, SAI offers opportunities to work, learn, and grow your skills in many areas of business. I began working at SAI immediately after graduation and believe I have been exposed to much more than what I would have at other firms. SAI really makes an effort to put its employees first. The newly-renovated open office makes for a great space to work. Management is very receptive to feedback. Company is in growth mode and it looks like great things are on the horizon.

Cons

Working long hours is occasionally required, but it doesn't ever go unappreciated/unrewarded.

Pros

Lots of transparency at all levels of the organization. Open door policies for business and life discussion. Work life balance is important to everyone, yet we all step up and do whatever it takes to meet client needs as necessary. Above average pay. People around me are all incredibly smart and challenge me. Lots of humility during important discussions. Happy hours every month sponsored by the business.

Cons

Lots of demanding deadlines for high profile clients can bring stress into our busy work days, and yet it's great to know what we do is important and matters both internally and for our clients.

Pros

I consider myself lucky to have been given the opportunity to work at SAI. This is a fantastic company and its an exciting time to be a part of the team. SAI's leadership genuinely cares about growing talent and provides opportunities to staff that are not common in other organizations. It is not an exaggeration to say that SAI has some of the hardest working and smartest people in the industry.

Cons

Its outside of SAI's control, but the property manager of the office building is often a source of frustration. If you enjoy dark humor then you will appreciate their special brand of ineptitude.

Pros

Awesome culture, collaborative, I had 2 of the best bosses I've ever had in my staffing career. Employees are very passionate and love what they do which sets the tone for company culture. Not clock watchers, not micro managers and certainly want you to succeed. Overall, it's a wonderful company to work at and if you're one of the lucky few who get selected to work there, you won't be sorry.

Cons

If you're a recruiter: Web technologies/Software firm with small staffing business. BDM's mostly sell the Web technologies/Software/IT Infrastructure Projects, but staffing comes 3rd. They need a dedicated BDM who knows the staffing industry and has sold staffing services.

Pros

A great place to develop in your role, a lot of opportunity to work with various clients on different tasks. Great people. Great benefits. Casual workplace environment. Hard work pays off and it doesn't go unnoticed.

Cons

If you aren't used to a lot of meetings, there will be a LOT of meetings integrated into your daily routine. They're useful, and evenly internal and client facing, but be prepared to take some extra time out of your day for meetings.
