      Pros

      Hard work is compensated. Opportunity abounds. It just takes initiative, hard work, and intelligence to have a good career at SAIC. These are some of the brightest, most ambitious employees I have ever had the pleasure to work with. The company does not tolerate "dead wood." They will fire or lay off employees who are not productive.

      Cons

      The company is always focused on the numbers. When the numbers are bad, overhead is cut. There is not much cushion to allow employees to find billable work when things are tight. The company will lay you off if you do not have direct, billable work.

      Pros

      Ability to transfer well within organization if you have issues with your direct manager. Company does a very good job balancing life work related issues and should have no problem giving you time off if needed. This is not a company that will make you slave over work. Very nice laid back attitude, friendly staff, most people seem to get along very well. Yearly bonuses were a plus, good performance reviews which are useful for a company this size. SAIC would be a great place to launch a career, as it allows good lateral movement and management is generally helpful if you find yourself unhappy.

      Cons

      Can get lost in the "big company" feel. Laid back attitude can make it hard to get work done when it needs to be. Employees who underperform are oftentimes not reprimanded -- and can even be rewarded for their laziness. Occasional bickering or "coffee break" type rumors about employees can lead to a poor work environment, especially among coworkers.

      Smart people and interesting work for engineers.

      Pros

      In the engineering areas, you will at least be working with smart people. The lower level managers seem to stay on top of what is going on beneath them. People are eager to help each other on challenging projects. Friendly and relaxed environment most of the time.

      Cons

      It seems that managers are not often recruited from within. This appeared to limit some growth opportunities, but I really wasn't working there for long enough to be certain of this. There seems to be a wide range in ability between employees in the same group. As a result, some of the stronger workers are constantly pulled around to help other employees with their projects.
