Another planet all together...

Pros

Depending on your BU and site budget, SAIC offers training and educational opportunities. In fact, you'll find that many employed by SAIC have a great deal of certifications. The fact that these same employees have no real-world experience doesn't seem to bother the customers of SAIC, though it makes for a challenging work day for others.

Cons

If you don't work at a client site, you have little to no opportunity as far as training or education or career advancement for that matter. Benefits leave a great deal to be desired. The site I work at is about ten years behind on technological advances, yet no one understands this based on the fact that they have been with SAIC for the last ten years. Also, the only qualification(s) needed to become SAIC management concern former military service and the ability to sit at a desk and stare into a computer screen (also, it is preferred though not required that you know your basic shapes and can read above a second grade level). If you meet these requirements, you are golden.

Pros

It's a large company with many opportunities when first starting out. Has many different locations around the United States and overseas.

Cons

Very difficult to move to different contracts. Business units are stove piped making it difficult to learn what other sectors do. No sick leave, you have to use PTO if you are sick. Doesn't offer all federal holidays.

Good place to get a clearance.

Pros

Name of the company, paid for me to get a clearance, mid-level boss was the best boss I've ever had.

Cons

Too big, wants to be like every other contractor, you need to be one of the boys, or a retired O-6 or GO to go anywhere.
