Sabre Systems

For me, a typical day at work would have occurred on a weekday. I worked second shift, and that is why. The weekdays were the ones where things happened during the work shift and that really made it fun. Calls coming in from all over the globe; some from local users, some from people traveling on business for the government, and some from overseas. The problems were different, but within our boundaries as a work place. Email and network connections seemed to make up the bulk of it.

I learned a good bit about the government and it's server network. How it handles things, from email distribution to how it sets up its networks.

Management at where I was at in Philadelphia was always good. I never had any problems with them. They are extremely professional and highly competent.

My co-workers were very good people and very competent in terms of why they were there. I enjoyed working with them tremendously.

The hardest part of the job would have been going home very late on Sunday night / Monday morning. You feel very tired, like the week has been extracted from you, but knowing that you still have three days left. It is a factor of second shift that you get used to.

The most enjoyable part of the job would definitely have been when things were at their busiest and you know that it is riding on you, and there is no way that you will let it fail.

After retiring from the military, I had a few different civilian jobs before joining the Sabre team.  Sabre is the only one that could even come close to the comradery I felt in the military.  Employees care about each other and genuinely look to assist each other.  Leadership truly cares about each employee and makes it feel like your happiness is the most important thing.  I have only been with this company one year, but I see nothing on the horizon that would change Sabre's commitment to excellence.  Nothing could have affirmed that more than the company's response to this Covid Pandemic.  Leadership keeps everyone informed, fellow employees reach out, and while I miss seeing my co-workers we have been able to seamlessly transition to this telework environment ensuring the job is completed to the Sabre standard.

I worked as a federal contractor for Sabre and was located at a government office. Sabre was the Sub contractor for this contract. I had little to NO interaction with Sabre employees. They have separate standards for their employees then the Prime Contractor holder who allows tele-work and other benefits for their employees, which were not provided to us as Subs.  Health benefits when covering your family is ridiculously priced. There is favoritism among employees. The pay was decent but not great, I've had better when working for  a federal contractor. Be aware that you might be asked to perform job functions that will go against your ethical and/ or Moral standards and when you bring these to Sabre's attention, you are told to do whatever it takes to make the client happy.

• Performed Information Assurance (IA) reviews of customized software and hardware that is to be deployed for use by DEA personnel.
• Analyzed software load design documents and prepare software and hardware test scenarios.
• Identify, isolate and repair computer equipment showing wear and tear as well as during preventative maintenance routines. Verified software and hardware computer configurations meet current IA regulations.
• Provided desktop and server support for 72 servers and over 2,000 clients by phone or in person as needed.
• Trouble shot network connectivity, network printing and user access issues as well as building and maintaining computer systems and perform necessary upgrades.

Sabre is truly a people first company. Management puts genuine effort into caring for the team. Sabre makes regular efforts to include and involve all employees. Having their work be primarily contract focused, there are a number of employees that sit in customer spaces. Aware of this, Sabre does their best to reach those employees regularly and have team focused events. While being employee centered, Sabre is also family centered and values the families of the employees that support them. Management at Sabre is also very supportive of professional development and will work to pair you with a mentor focused on helping you grow your career.

Sabre Systems is a professionally run company that cultivates a dignified environment that does not fall into the trappings of modern technology firms that attempt to make you feel like family or patronize you. Your time is respected and you are not asked to work unnecessary overtime. As a software engineer, I am given quite a bit of leeway in pursuing different tasking so that I can have more varied and balanced skill improvement. If you can get your foot in the door at Sabre, are willing to live in the areas they need you to live in, and if you put in the work, you will have a stable job here.

I have been very pleased with the dedication Sabre has to its employees. It is truly a people first company that is about more than just the bottom line. They want their employees to feel challenged in their work and appreciated for their efforts. They care about not just you but your family and make sure you are maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I have been thankful to work for a company that doesn't just ask what I can do for them and instead asks what they can do for me. How my growth can be supported and what I need to be happy and satisficed in my career. Keep it up!

So far Sabre has shown to be an excellent company to work for.  They definitely focus on their employees with a competitive salary and benefits package.  Outside of that they have employee awards programs and various morale related events.  When employees have expressed interests in other opportunities within the company, Sabre leadership has worked hard to make it happen.  The work-life balance is very good.

Almost all my interactions with colleagues showed me that the people there do care about you, and are friendly. Everyone seems very relaxed and there is a good atmosphere. Work-life balance is stress-free due to being able to work remotely. Really good experience with bosses and higher-ups. The potential room for growth and being able to branch out is great as well. The mentorship program shows me that the higher ups care to invest in you and help you be successful.
