Pros

SAIC tries to cover employees when contracts expire. They do both government and commercial contracts which makes it easier to get experience in both areas.

Cons

Too bad they got rid of it being employee owned. The stock has been languishing between 15 and 20 since they went public.

Depends on what project you're assigned to and location

Business Outlook

Pros

The upside is that the company builds important products with a fair amount of "gee whiz". Depending on the project, you can have some autonomy. There are some really sharp people. Salary, benefits are very good (1:1 401k match, 16 days/year paid leave).

Cons

If you get stuck on a bad project (i.e. one that is doomed before you even hear about it), it can trail you for a long time. It's my experience that when assigned to a project, some crucial technical decisions have already been made (by people not qualified to make them and who aren't responsible for making the darn thing work). A lot depends on the business unit and location. Some work locations provide excellent environments (offices, adequate lab space) while others are just giant cube farms with PhDs in cubicles. General environment seemed better during the employee-owned days.
