Pros

Very good access to important jobs Stable work environment Access to technical information Willingness by SAIC to support your customer Less management hands on at remote sites

Cons

Unless you are at San Diego or the Washington DC area, your job is only as good as the contract your are currently on. If it goes away, so do you. SAIC advertises that they have a great many opportunities across the country, but in truth, these do not exist. The company advertises all jobs at all sites, but most are already filled or the site is looking for the cheapest candidate requiring no relocation. If you are at one of the aforementioned sites, then you can move around in the company, if not don't look at SAIC as a permanent place to work. The company also advertises itself as "Employee Owned", this is no longer true. They went public several years ago and now treat employees the same as all of the other large public corporations with little regard save profits.

Pros

Great company as long as you are willing to put in the work. They have a vibrant and very friendly atmosphere. If you prove yourself from the get go, upper management will help guide your career.

Cons

Can be long hours striving to create new business. Although there are some top echelons of government talent at SAIC, just because folks have a long government career doesn't make them suitable managers. Sometimes SAIC rewards sub par managers who they believe may have contacts on the backs of the folks who actually do the work. In many instance, these managers are simply highly paid talking heads who do not deliver.
