Our Culture
SSA & Co.’s most important and valuable asset is its people.
SSA & Co.’s most important and valuable asset is its people.
We are committed to employing a culturally diverse workforce and are focused on continual training to help our teammates become inclusive leaders. Embedded in our core values is fostering respect and strong relationships not only within SSA & Co. and with our clients, but also within our communities.
Our values, relationships, and people inform everything we do. We are a team of inquisitive and kind leaders who represent the varied issues we work on and the clients we serve.
We are proud to provide a workplace environment where our colleagues can be their 100% authentic selves and support their commitment to giving back to the communities in which they work and live.
SSA & Co.’s culture, as described by our own employees, is: Collaborative, Tight-Knit, Transparent, Non-Hierarchical, Innovative, Friendly, Fun, and Humble. We wouldn’t be any of these things without our people.
Our “been there, done that” experts come from a wide range of geographic and industry backgrounds. They bring decades of unique expertise and a pragmatic “roll-up-your-sleeves” mentality, extending from advanced analytics and digital technology to organizational design and operations.
Enriching SSA & Co.
Employees across levels come together to contribute to the internal initiatives that make our firm a great place to work.
Dedicated to ensuring that SSA & Co. operates at the cutting edge of AI, analytics, and digital. The AI Innovation Hub develops impactful tools (such as agentic workflows and AI-powered applications) to accelerate project delivery and depth and rapidly creates tailored prototypes to demonstrate the “art of the possible” to our clients.
Promotes employee growth, training, and knowledge sharing. The Professional Development Committee oversees comprehensive firmwide education (on key topics ranging from GenAI to program management) and our Resource Hub, SSA & Co.’s proprietary internal knowledge base spanning decades of project experience.
Enriches our culture through events that celebrate our shared differences, support our communities, and bring our people together. Throughout the year, the Culture Committee hosts heritage and holiday celebrations, charitable initiatives, and community outreach that reflect the diversity of our team.
Whether it is our team members volunteering in their communities or coming together as a firm for a meaningful cause, we value giving back.
Meals for Unity is a nonprofit based in NYC with a mission to uplift those in need through community and food. Founded in March 2021 during a tumultuous time for the AAPI community, what started as a spontaneous meal distribution in Manhattan’s Chinatown evolved into a vision tackling food insecurity and spreading awareness of social inequalities. Our team volunteered with Meals for Unity to write thoughtful cards and decorate custom meal bags to spread holiday cheer to hungry NYC seniors in need.
Our team volunteered with Cheeriodicals, a national company that helps conduct philanthropic events benefiting charity organizations, in support of Dell Children’s Medical Center during our company offsite in Austin, TX. As a team, we made care packages filled with crafts, activity books, puzzles, and games that were delivered to patients at the hospital.

A reflection from hospital staff about our donations:
"The Cheeriodical Boxes are a joy to receive, especially this time of year when donations are low. On the day we received the SSA & Co. boxes we were at maximum occupancy and had many patients waiting in the ER for available beds within the hospital. Many of the first boxes were given to these patients who were holding for admittance. Most of these families came to the ER not knowing they would be admitted and did not bring any type of distraction or entertainment for their children. The box contents were a huge hit with these patients and families. The staff was so extremely grateful to have such a great resource for their patients during a very stressful day. Thanks SSA & Co. and Cheeriodicals!!"
