Pros

Flexible environment. Mgmt understands that your life is bigger than your job. Rarely have to work over 40/hrs/week. Seems to have excellent job security.

Cons

Very homogeneous work-force -- almost all ex-military. Sometimes not very professional in methodology. Not cutting-edge work in most cases. Much of the work is "same-old, same-old". Can feel a little stifling.

Pros

Most people know the #1 reason to work for SAIC are the stock options. For the longest time, those were wonderful and stable returns on investment. The annual bonuses are great and increased my salary by 10%+. The ability to move around in the company was pretty free for a government contract as long as you didn't pigeonhole yourself into one particular product

Cons

The management was fairly incompetent at recognizing good leadership and people who brown-nose. A number of horrible employees were promoted because they knew who to pander to. Senior management almost never talked to someone below middle management. This meant that the only regular employees that senior management got feedback from were the complainers who hurt company morale and productivity.
