Pros

The pay and benefits are better at SAIC than the competitors (Northrop, McKing, Lockheed). Managers are laid back. People are able to work from home one day a week. Hours are flexible.

Cons

Employees of SAIC Atlanta are really contract employees. Staffing is based on contracts and funding. If the contract ends or funding dries up, you will be laid off. There is very little administrative support for the regional office. There is minimal career advancement available at the regional office, but transferring to Washington DC might be an option. There may be more opportunities at the SAIC Headquarters. The regional offices are not as nice as the Headquarters. Headquarters has lavish parties and events, but the regional offices do not.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of great people work there, and they have a wide variety of interesting projects. When employees lose coverage, SAIC is quite good at finding them work elsewhere within the company. Despite the size of the company, management treats employees quite well, and almost always welcome our feedback.

Cons

As with any large company, there can be a lot of unnecessary politics and red tape. Dealing with HR can be frustrating, as they often take weeks to respond to even the simplest requests. Ever since the company went public in 2006, the sense of pride in being an employee-owner has vanished.

Pros

,401k, benefits Career advancement is what you make of it... work hard, get rewarded. Management listens to you, you have freedom to do your own thing, get rewrded for bright ideas, input is listened to, feedback from managers are helpful. Tuition reimbuse for evening classes is a good way to advance ones career

Cons

hard work, The lovely cold winters and sweltering summers. Its essentially government, work with so many bland people that you want to leave at 5:00 to keep your sanity Wish the pay was better, profit sharing would be nice, recreational facilities or a gym would be great.
