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.
