Pros

Great stock option plan; pay was competitive.

Cons

Divisions in other locations were actively competing for contracts against other SAIC divisions. It was an environment where we competed against ourselves and many good people were hurt.

Company is going downhill...and it's not just the stock price

Business Outlook

Pros

- High quality Employees - Interesting work - Promotes social responsibility and employee volunteerism - Flexible with respect to working hours

Cons

- Says "people first" but doesn't follow through - Insular management at higher levels, with a good deal of "do as I say..." - Obsession with making numbers is leading to ethical lapses at all levels of management. Paying lip service to ethics doesn't cut it...there is no follow through - Attempts to "realign" services has led to disastrous results for people in the line trying to do work for customers. - Sacrificed employee loyalty when IPO occurred....not the same company
