Pros

SAIC tries to do the right thing most of the time. They provide a very flexible work environment in our location. I have never felt pressured to do anything unethical. They are a fairly stable employer, favoring no raises as opposed to layoffs. They are trying to expand their commercial business. Most people have either been here a year or 10 years. Seems that there is some self selection fairly early on and people either love it or leave.

Cons

Raises are minimal, if anything the last few years. SAIC's pay is a little below average compared to other companies. Several times I have wondered if events played out a certain way because I was female, but nothing horrible. You have to do your own career planning because management would love for you to just stay in the same position forever.

Pros

Great atmosphere, everyone is really nice and helps you out when learning new things. If you ever need help with something, just ask someone and they are usually willing to help you

Cons

As a new employee there were periods of high and low work loads. This is to be expected as a new employee.

Pros

- Abundant level of positions available across all skill sets. - Defined Engineering and Project Managmeent Career paths. - Training options - Project Managers will attempt to 'place' you on another project in the event of budget cuts or contract chages. - Multitudes of contracts earned, renewed each year meaning there is ample opprotunity to move into senior lead or Project Management roles.

Cons

- Big company and red tape required to take advantage of the Pros listed above - Federal Contracts only, meaning you are subject to the whims of the federal direction / budget (Although as a compnay SAIC has so many it very rarely affects them) - Not a lot of 'reconigition' for those outside of the prime engineering or project management roles. - Support for profesional confrence attendance is available but not consistent between different projects and required Goverment approval and support making it difficult.
