Some of this simply defys common sense

Chief systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay at hire but not words on past performance or salary/merit increaase. Not much of a pro but the initial pay was good. Great opportunity to work remotely. I was doing so since 2012 in my last employment engagement, but continued remote engagement is definately a positive. I appriciate the colleagues I work with. For the most part, they are professional and willing to do what is necessary to get the job done.

Cons

SAICs continued position on supporting Covid mandates. If I didn't work remotely, I wouldn't have received a religious exemption and I'd be out of a job. Their position has restricted on site engagement or business travel, which ultimately is at a detriment to business and career opportunities. Pushing the known mRNA experimental injections are known to cause multiple health problems up to including deaths. SAIC doesn't publish VARES or deaths of employees, but I have to believe there are several. If not now, there will be. It seems leadership has their heads in the sand on this topic and taking their marching orders from the administration. Doesn't show any leadership in this area and really a complete disappointment.

Pros

Small company. Agile strategy to pursue new technologies.

Cons

Lots of special projects. When you are done so are they. They discard a lot of great employees in the form of layoffs.
