      A great company with a great potential!

      Pros

      The company embraces diversity and offers opportunities for committed employees. There are a lot of interesting and challenging projects going on throughout the company and it's relatively easy to move around within the company. The people at SAIC are bright and work hard. Because SAIC values its people, they will try to take care of the employees during the "down times": help with placement, etc. Education and training assistance is also great.

      Cons

      One thing they lack is a pension program, but that's probably true for most other similar companies.

      Pros and cons to working at this Fortune 500 company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SAIC is a well established company with a lot of procedures and protocols in place to make learning the company ethics and new policy's very straightforward. Most teams are very diverse experience wise, so there is great opportunity to work with several higher-ups - and that face time can be advantageous to future growth on a career experience level. The opportunity to be a "jack of all trades" is present and one can learn a lot of different things in a very short amount of time. Reviews are given on a regular basis with raise, and providing the team does well, bonus are given yearly. The company also has an amazing dining area and gym within the facility.

      Cons

      The learning curve to get started on most projects is very intense. The work given completely exceeds the amount that any one person can do in a work week. Company laptops are often given, specifically so that one can take their work home, making the amount of overtime put in, upwards of 20 additional hours per week. Most management are former military, and are genuinely there to make money and not friends; so they are not very nice. The significant number of men to women workers also makes it somewhat difficult to work with if you are female. Projects are often very large and dynamic, and you only ever get to see a very small portion of that project. This makes it difficult to see the whole picture and to feel that your specific work is purposeful. There is also limited positive feedback.

      Today it's norm to have multiple jobs throughout your career, at SAIC, long-term employment is a reality.

      Pros

      There are a LOT of people who have worked here a long time - you'll find that the level of knowledge in any one subject is VERY deep because there are teams of people who've been working in a similar part of an industry for a very long time. There's also a very real effort made to find coverage for existing employees if they are losing coverage on another project.

      Cons

      It's a very big company, so it's sometimes a bit difficult to be extremely agile, and make things happen quickly.
