Pros

The comapny does very well in the DoD world and is able to land large contracts. Some contracts allow a person to get a decent pay as long as you ahave a high utilization rate. If are in one of the main facilities, you can get addtional training.

Cons

Once the contract is over - start looking else where. If you are in a smaller office, do not expect any addtioanl career advancement and training. Try to work on contracts where SAIC is the prime.

Pros

Good benefits. Company has a good reputation with customers. Fairly simple and effective performance evaluation system. Loads of professional and competent people in the company.

Cons

There are two kinds of employees at SAIC: the real employees and the "talent." The talent are those people hired from inside government to work on site with government customers. The "talent" are not really treated like employees. No real career development, training, or corporate attention. The talent are really product that SAIC sells to the customer. And like any product, if there is any problem at all with the product or the contract, the product goes in the dust bin. I've been observing some chilling horror stories about SAIC putting these "talent" employees out on the street with no warning and no mercy, even though these people are qualified to do other open jobs in the company. Advice to any one in the government considering taking an SAIC job working in the government: Don't do it. You won't be able to trust the company to take care of you.
