Pros

SAIC does some extremely interesting work - good opportunity for those with strong technical competencies to learn and grow. Most people get along well within their own organizations. Baseline entrepreneurial spirt of company still exists. Ability to "bank time" from one week to the next may permit employee to arrange work schedule, but this is customer-organization dependent. Benefits are competitive, although combination vacation/sick leave program can mean that an unexpected illness will absorb all vacation time.

Cons

Leadership vacuum at the moment. CEO has "resigned", but is still in place pending search. Recently fired one of the best Group Presidents - may have been a scapegoating exercise, but facts and rationale are held very close. Stock has declined significantly and promise of IPO has not been met. Pay is below competitive and becoming more so as bonuses and stock awards (which used to be almost universal) are being taken away from lower level employees and not replaced. Current environment is extremely difficult due to government cutbacks - since the IPO company is in effect now run by junior Wall Street analysts, and poor short term decisions are often made to "make the numbers"

Pros

Good pay/nice benefits. Caring, dedicated direct supervisors.

Cons

Constant reorganization. Massive 42,000 employee company with little connection back to the "mother ship". Once and done attitude in the way direct employees are treated. When your contact is over, you are finished! No paid bench and no severance.
