Pros

Established company with a solid reputation for providing experienced, knowledgeable professionals for analyst and program/project management positions supporting government customers.

Cons

The benefits are unimpressive and demonstrate a company that does not believe its people are its strength. Instead, the signals indicate that the individual does not matter and is replaceable. Though management teams say the right things about people first, compensation and benefits leave much to be desired.

Pros

They seem to win contracts. They have to usual assortment of benefits you would associate with a big company. They pay on time.

Cons

I worked for SAIC back in the employee-owned era - nothing then is comparable to now. I came back on ia few years ago and they were a decent company, but have trimmed benefits and kept pay increases minimal every year since. While sending out emails quarterly bragging about shareholder earnings. I went with (new) SAIC after the split, I've been on site with virtually no contact for two years. Losing the contract and the way we found out about it was the incoming contractor calling us and offering us jobs.

Pros

Team members are extremely talented, qualified and work very well together to product high quality work and meet deadlines. SAIC has a good benefits package which includes free training and development resources.

Cons

Management was not qualified and did not support project teams especially as it pertained to ensuring that scope creep was minimized. Management also allowed the customer to dictate how the development team worked which resulted in working more hours and an extremely high turnover rate. SAIC also has very poor retention efforts to retain employees, once their contract has ended. Managers also fails to keep team members updated about contract end dates and future work. Managers ignore all requests for this type of information which puts employees and contractors at risk for being unemployed.
