      Ken Dahlberg is out of touch with the regional offices.

      Pros

      The pay and benefits are better at SAIC than the competitors (Northrop, McKing, Lockheed). Managers are laid back. People are able to work from home one day a week. Hours are flexible.

      Cons

      Employees of SAIC Atlanta are really contract employees. Staffing is based on contracts and funding. If the contract ends or funding dries up, you will be laid off. There is very little administrative support for the regional office. There is minimal career advancement available at the regional office, but transferring to Washington DC might be an option. There may be more opportunities at the SAIC Headquarters. The regional offices are not as nice as the Headquarters. Headquarters has lavish parties and events, but the regional offices do not.

      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.
