SAIC Software Developer reviews

There is plenty of red tape in this organization. Though this seems to be the case in many government contracting businesses, it seems to be more prevalent in this organization. It seems as though administrative tasks that should take a day end up taking a week, two, or three. There are also countless meetings and teleconferences that don't provide any real value. The organization seems to promote a conservative undertone, which may not be the best place for a young progressive to start their career. It seems to take an act of God to get money approved for new contracts.

Losing a lot of good people due to lack of communication and direction. Some substandard development due to tight and usually constricting timelines and budget (welcome to the contractor world). Senior management does not provide good vision and direction, seem more interested in the bottom dollar than keeping and building good teams. Lack of incentives to further education and professional knowledge. Lack of reward for doing a good job.
