Once a good company, going down the toilet

Systems administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good group of smart people. Almost everyone I have worked with and met is a decent person you could be be friends with. Depending on your division, SAIC is pretty good providing training. SAIC is pretty good to engineers and software developers, if you don't have an engineering degree, your chances to advance are more limited.

Cons

Since SAIC went public, treatment of employees has gotten worse. I have gotten some good raises in the past, pretty much everyone gets the canned 3% now and no bonuses except for managers and above. Our operation is extremely political. If you are not in the clique, you are going nowhere. Senior managers in our operation are incompetent. They are not interested in doing commercial work, only DoD.

It was challenging due to the established culture of having divisions function almost like franchise owners

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunities to do different things within the organization are unlimited if you can get in with the right organization and get to know the right people. The CEO is the best...Very approachable and eats lunch at times with employees randomly in the cafeteria. The company hires some really bright individuals

Cons

One manager to another - sometimes messages get lost in transition. Hard to establish a culture when you never meet your team. The freedom of organizations led to a lack of processes in which we were developing on the fly. You have to have a role or project that provides highly visibility to get noticed
