Pros

Met some of the best people to work with (peers, supervisors, low level managers and most of the project managers) -- most of them hardworking, competent and with great personalities...Because of its size, SAIC provides opportunities for working under various projects (different in size, nature and complexity) -- it's a great way of gaining valuable experience.

Cons

Poor communication between upper management and employees – communication is practically non-existent. Training provided when absolutely needed (no training is provided for professional development purposes). SAIC is not the place for work - personal life balance. Salaried employees expected to work additional hours at all times, not just temporarily, for a short period of time...In a lot of cases, there is recognition for a “job well done” from upper management.

Pros

Good people, satisfying work, challenging work. Salaried folks seem to enjoy benefits such as flexible hours, corporate travel, etc. Overtime is not mandatory but in rare instances.

Cons

For hourly folks, benefits are non existant. Hours are much less flexible. You get in trouble for working 39 or 41 hours in a "full time hourly position."

Pros

Some highly competent technical people Flexibility in daily schedule

Cons

Management encourages narcissim Management creates negative competitive environment Some professionals have identified the workplace as abusive Incompetence is alive and thriving here Creative, intelligent, and non-conformist people do not fit here - they are targeted; then starved of work so they have no choice but to either find work by themselves and hoard work and isolate themselves or move on. The company prides itself on its ethics but integrity lacks among management
