      SAIC is a good company to work for as a corporate employee, but as contractor, you're a bit on your own.

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. Good training opportunities. Lots of different industries to 'break into'. Smart workforce. HR works really well with employees!

      Cons

      Contractors are valued only for the contract that they're on. Even if a contractor has an interest, drive or talent to bring to corporate, management isn't always the most helpful in helping the employee find those opportunities. This is generally not the fault of management (and of course the employee needs to do the legwork), but contract programs aren't typically designed where the Program Managers have much opportunity to spend with these employees, and the company losses a lot of talent to the competition.

      Pros

      It has very cool technology, CT-scanner for explosive detection. You can take proud from your work feeling that you are protecting the public safety.

      Cons

      Management are not reasonable, it is purely a buddy buddy system. Strong favoritism, what matters the most is who you know in the management team.

      It was a great experience but I miss the Old SAIC - when it was Employee-owned.

      Pros

      Flexibility to work at home use to be something you earned. Someone who earned the trust of the employer. This past year flexibility went haywire, employee work schedule is unpredictable, flexibility is over the top. ( A nightmare for a manager to keep track of timecards) but employees really seem to love it.

      Cons

      Appears lay offs are targeted at employees due to their age not their experience. SAIC replacing employees who were laid off before they're even out the door. Need to allow employees to evaluate managers not just vice versa. When SAIC was an employee-owned company it was an Awesome place to work. Founder of the company was fair across the board. Miss the old SAIC structure SAIC is definately not the same after it went public.
