"Great company, staff, and benefits."

"I've worked for SAIC for 7 years, had a break of a couple of years, and now have worked for 2 years. The company was employee-owned since its creation but recently went public. Since it has gone public, the culture and benefits have changed, not for the better. Job satisfaction is dependent upon what you do and who you work with but not the company. I've seen several cases where good employees were let go with less than two-weeks' notice."

"I've worked for SAIC for five (5) years. I would recommend this company to any CEO. I preform many jobs with this company, such as Operations Lead, Theater Configuration and Retrofit Manager, IUID Manager, Facility Manager, Container Manager, Liaison Officer (LNO), Logistics Specialist, Production Control, Quality Control, and Training, Supply & Transportation Coordinator."
