SAIC Task Manager reviews

Typical tech industry instability. If you're willing to move you'll always have a job though.

Contractors are valued only for the contract that they're on. Even if a contractor has an interest, drive or talent to bring to corporate, management isn't always the most helpful in helping the employee find those opportunities. This is generally not the fault of management (and of course the employee needs to do the legwork), but contract programs aren't typically designed where the Program Managers have much opportunity to spend with these employees, and the company losses a lot of talent to the competition.
