Pros
When it was SAIC, we had vision, teamwork, mentorship and opportunities for growth and advancement.
Cons
When they were SAIC and Employee-Owned, there was a sense of pride, ownership and accountability among each employee. We worked for ourselves and one another. There was also quite a bit of mentorship, and old hands did what they could to make newcomers part of the team and enhance their value....and look for other ways to increase value to to our clients and customers. It started going downhill when SAIC forced Dr Bob Beyster out and went public. Then we were at the mercy of bean-counters and accountants...who took control...and split the golden goose..into SAIC and Leidos...and forgot what made us the largest Employee Owned Company in the world.
