Large Gov't contractor

Pros

-- good salaries and medical benefits -- choice of positions in many areas of country

Cons

-- if you are female there is no maternity leave, you have to use your own leave or there is this short term disability leave plan -- leave is based on time with company and is typical for a large company -- depends on your gov't contract because some projects are not great

SAIC is a good company to work for as a corporate employee, but as contractor, you're a bit on your own.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Good training opportunities. Lots of different industries to 'break into'. Smart workforce. HR works really well with employees!

Cons

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.

Pros

It has very cool technology, CT-scanner for explosive detection. You can take proud from your work feeling that you are protecting the public safety.

Cons

Management are not reasonable, it is purely a buddy buddy system. Strong favoritism, what matters the most is who you know in the management team.
