Pros

Working at Saab Sensis, you really get a feeling that the company cares about its employees. Engineering companies are notoriously poor at striking a good work life balance, and Sensis is no exception. However, they have initiatives that show they are listening to employees and committed to improving. Working hours here are very flexible which shows a lot of trust between managers and employees. In my personal experience, vacation time is honored - there is no expectation of "working vacations". I enjoy working with my colleagues - there are definitely a lot of great people in the company. Finally, Saab Sensis has had some rough times, but are now growing and on an upward trajectory; the foreseeable future for this company looks bright.

Cons

Like with any bigger company (compared to the sub-100 employee companies I've worked at prior), making decisions/getting a response/change can be frustratingly slow at times. The company uses some outdated technologies, though not necessarily due to a fault of their own; they have some constraints on them due to the nature of their business and customers. It can feel a little overwhelming to start working at Sensis due to how much there is to learn, and it doesn't help that the on-boarding training is lacking. If you are willing to ask however, people are generally very approachable and helpful.

Pros

Great benefits, plenty of personal/vacation time, personable enough to get to know many people and job security.

Cons

New employee training is non-existent. Growing so fast this can create a potential issue. Structure is needed as well. They have recently recognized this and working hard to change that.

Pros

- Meaningful work supporting U.S. national security priorities - Talented and committed colleagues across functions - Strong global brand with respected products and capabilities

Cons

- After raising internal policy compliance questions, I experienced increased manager hostility, micromanagement, and questions about my dedication from a member of the U.S. Saab, Inc. C-Suite. - Despite good-faith efforts to improve the dynamic, the environment became tense enough that I felt hesitant to, for example, fully use approved leave or personal time, or raise concerns internally for fear of manager retaliation. - Despite directly informing the U.S. Saab, Inc. CEO of the problem, and receiving assurances that my work and effort were exactly what they needed to be (as evidenced by my positive internal reviews), the increasingly hostile manager interactions continued. - Strong disapproval of the U.S. Saab, Inc. CEO and the culture that is encouraged in the U.S. C-Suite
