Pros

I expect experiences at SAIC to be quite varied because of the agglomeration of smaller organizations it has acquired. I had a great group of really smart co-workers.

Cons

Projects varied widely in their organization, coordination, and collaboration. It may sound strange, but one of the biggest frustrations was 10 minute time-tracking that did not allow 15 minute increments

Business Outlook

Pros

The technical staff is, for the most part, very sharp and focused on providing the best solutions to their customer's problems. Wages and benefits are competitive enough and the company is always trying to grow. SAIC supports a good balance between work and private life and the company and employees regularly pull together to help support a fellow employee through a sudden hardship or donate to charity. A diverse contract pool and willing management allows for freedom of movement between projects.

Cons

The company is making a big push to grow and become a real competitor to the big boys. Re-organizations are a constant theme and management is always under the gun to hit ever increasing budget plans. Time sold and the almighty dollar is the new motto. An unhealthy amount of in-fighting among management often distracts from providing great service to the customer and increases the amount of work needed. Career development paths look good on paper but the implementation plan hasn't materialized.
