Pros

when your group wins work, you're busy and billable, and there are opportunities to learn

Cons

poor collegiality between staff overly secretive even when the work does not require it company is very silo-ed, intracompany work impossible or very hard to do management has zero sense of loyalty to staff all overhead generated from years of being >75% billable meant nothing when we lost our contract i was given zero time to look for new work and company recruiters (emailed every single one of them, not one replied) were 100% useless i was kept on staff but received no pay when we lost our contract (ultimately, i left the company)

Pros

Decent learning and development opportunities. Some really passionate and hard working people on your teams. Performance management is relaxed and flexible.

Cons

Benefits are wildly expensive for a company of their size. Was laid off with 1.5 months notice right before Christmas. Months prior to layoff was forced to use my PTO due to gov shutdown, but was still getting my full paycheck during shutdown. I believe this was so that they could diminish our PTO banks so they would have to pay out less when they laid us off. Laid off with zero severance despite being at company for almost 4 years and being in good standing. No efforts from management to make connections for a new internal role despite being strongly encouraged to search internally. New CEO Jim is not personable at all. Gives heavy corporate and cog in a machine vibes. Rumor has it that in the defense contracting industry, SAIC will be faring rather poorly within next 1-4 years.
