Pros

They have work and constantly looking for good talent.

Cons

Well let's say HR shelters bad SVPs/VPs. It seems like everyone here is a Director/VP/SVP and all of them are protected by being jerks to employees. I'll leave it at that as no matter which group you go into, SAIC does a good job of corrupt management especially after Two of the former CEOs. There is a really strong good ole boys club at VP levels and above. Benefits go up and raises are usually 0% -2% if you are lucky. You will take the blame for ineffective management at top levels. Turnover is a major issue. Vacation time you will never get a chance if you are trying to get a raise or be a good employee.
