Pros

SAIC is an honest ethical employer. From what I have seen in the few years that I have been here, management "walks the talk". The people, atmosphere and accommodations are very nice which makes it a pleasant environment to work in. There is ample parking and the building maintenance is awesome. We have a nice cafeteria with lots of food choices. There are other amenities within the building or very close by (like dry cleaners, convenience stores, etc.). SAIC provides outstanding technological and scientific solutions for a large diverse customer base and strives to remain responsive to their needs.

Cons

The traffic in the Tyson's Corner area is horrible which makes for a long commute for most people. The lunch venues in the area are also very pricey. Although our cafeteria is nice and has lots of food choices, it is also rather pricey.

Pros

SAIC is a very stable and reliable company to work for. The business is always in need. Great benefits packages. Company stock purchase plans. Lots of choices for medical insurance. Flexible time-off.

Cons

Annual review raises and bonuses don't keep up with rate of inflation.

Pros

If you work on the right contract within SAIC, you will see that they do some very interesting work. For the lucky employees who land the right jobs, SAIC can be a very fulfilling environment.

Cons

Each office is a seperate entity, and within each office are several large contract jobs. At one time, SAIC fostered an attitude of 'entrepenural' spirit. The downside was that too much leeway was given to the point were there is no centralization in anything, policy or line related. SAIC is currently moving away from this business structure, but is doing so in a manner that does not communicate anything to their employees. This leaves all of us flying by the seat of our pants, each day getting instructions that contradict last weeks.
