Current Employee – been working at SAIC

Pros – SAIC is a very comfortable place to work in. You would never have to spend more than 9 hours in office. In case you do work in shifts that ends at 10:30 in the night, you get 300-600Rs every day. The food here is very good and its FREE. The compensation is extremely good and is definitely better than any software giant in India except for the global biggies like google, Microsoft and Intel. The head count in India is low and that is one of the primary reasons you are given a lot of importance in the company. The people in the senior management are really cool and very approachable. Its a Fortune 200 company, so obviously all the systems/policies are in place. Very good for married people looking to settle in bangalore/Noida. Growth is Superb.

Cons – The company basically caters to US Defense and other government bodies, so it does not publicizes itself and its indian head count being less, not many know about this company. So the pride associated deteriorates.
No long term visibility
Very little Onsite opportunities
Lack of trainings in certain technologies, as participants would be low.

Advice to Senior Management – Do some more offshoring, get us more clients.

Pros – SAIC is about making their customers happy. They strive to be the best in the industry and let their employees use innovation to reach this goal.

Cons – SAIC is in the process of splitting into 2 companies which is expected to happen in the Fall of 2013. While direct positions should not be affected there is currently a lot of changes to indirect employees which is making indirect positions very unstable and unattractive for the time being.

Pros – SAIC has their hands in just about every type of contracting work, so there is great diversity when it comes to different jobs available.

Cons – Depending on your working location, SAIC does not treat all of it's employees fairly. The more you are detached from the corporate environment, the less respect you get from the company as a whole.
