SAIC Software Developer reviews

Going public was a disaster. The culture changed and a lot of long time employees who thought they'd get rich when the company went public endied up losing a lot of money. The company seemed to have more than its share of mini-scandals and there were a number of attractive women in various management positions who'd 'worked' their way up from administrative assistant type positions. It was kind of an open secret and a running joke. One very senior manager was sent packing when his extra-curricular activities were uncovered. A lot of employees that I was around were worked to the bone: a stroke, a massive heart attack and a nervous breakdown all felled people that I worked around because of the unyielding pressure. 2 guys in their early 50s, 1 in his early 40s.

Right before Christmas I got a letter stating that I owe them close to a $1000 because they overpaid me in Comp. Leave. I always did my timesheet correctly so this was their payroll mistake. The money was due in 1 week or it increased. That is a limited amount of time to come up with a large sum of money like that. Women - there is no maternity leave. Many other large government contracting companies have this. So if this is important to you, you may want to look at one of the other larger companies.
