Pros

Benefits, some interesting work. i'm reaching here ...

Cons

Nepotism, inexperienced/Inept management, double standards. Failures such as FBI VCF and CityTime are evident as symptoms of my own division. The current regime in my division ran off the good leaders and people.

It was a great ride for 20+ years. I feel like I left just in time.

Pros

The company gave me every opportunity to advance. I had a great time, particularly in the early days when we were still employee-owned. I loved the entrepreneurial spirit of the company and really felt like if you did a good job, you were rewarded.

Cons

The company changed a lot after Dr. Beyster stepped down. When SAIC went public, it changed the company's focus. Senior management was not interested in innovation and interesting work. They became focused completely on profit and revenue. We had a lot of senior management turnover and good managers left. I left when my Group President retired and new management was not strong.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers, variety of fields available to break into

Cons

Pay is abysmal, and the management only cares about the yearly bottom line. Stay away from this company at all costs! Employees are not valued to the level they should be, and opportunities for advancement in the contracting arena are just short of nonexistent. Avoid the Operations and Intelligence business unit in particular!
