      Pros

      I like the fact that I am able to work from home on a regular basis and that there are some programs that help to compensate for the cost of commuting to work. I appreciate the fact that they allowed someone with little experience in the job focus but that showed interest and aptitude for learning new things to have a chance.

      Cons

      The location that I work in is not in the most accessible of locations. Dealing with certain parts of the government or the people who work there can be challenging at times but I am sure that that is something you would have to deal with at any job.

      Ken Dahlberg is out of touch with the regional offices.

      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.

      If you like to work for a large company, this is a good one.

      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.
