Pros
SAIC did start with competitive pay and benefits for it's new employees. The hiring process was quick, efficient, and responsive.
Cons
Management treats employees poorly. If they don't personally like you they will find a reason to terminate you and it will have nothing to do with your quality of work. Personal friends are rewarded. High turnover rate because of previous description. Poor yearly performance reviews. Not very thorough in time spent or explanation to employees. Management(who are required to own stock in company) and CEO/Board of Trustees make decisions based solely on raising price of stock. Jobs are lost easily from this. Small businesses/subcontractors are put out of my business by them continuously buying out workers only to cut those employees loose after their purpose is served. Large segments of non-management workforce had to endure pay cuts, despite stock increase.
