Pros
Flexible management (at least my direct management chain). Many available levels of employment status, including full-time (minimum 32 hours), part-time, unscheduled professional, and consulting employee. SAIC has decent benefits, including medical, dental, life insurance, disability insurance and vision plans. SAIC is a very scattered company - divisions are co-located with clients, this enables it's divisions to be very responsive to client needs and requirements. SAIC has had historically excellent stock growth and bonus plans. Advancement for women is improving, networks are in place to allow women to meet with other women within the company to assist each other with working toward advancement at senior managements levels.
Cons
SAIC is a very scattered company - it's divisions are co-located with clients. While this affords a nimbler response to clients, it complicates the day-to-day management issues. Sometimes it can seem like upper management is out of touch with the workers in the trenches. Now that SAIC (NYSE: SAI) stock is publicly it is harder to get bonuses of stock and options. Trading the stock through Mellon can be time consuming, but must be done to maintain the employee benefit of 10 votes per share (Class A?), if an employee wants to move the stock to his/her own broker, the preferential voting rights are lost.
