Pros

You will be paid generously along with housing and a rental car to sit around and run a few problems a day. You get to immerse yourself in the aviation community. If you're trained and proficient in your duties your manager will have your back and defend your honor like you are her own child. Boss include our RPO feedback in meetings making the training system progress efficiently as a whole. The rest of your co workers are relatively chill.

Cons

There is no rhyme or reason to the work being done. There are 3 different contractors there all serving the same customer (the FAA) working the same objective and can be extremely and bureaucratic. There Isn't a schedule relayed to us for the day so no one knows exactly whats going on until boss comes in to herd us off expeditiously . Plans change like the weather there. Boss tends to forget her set rules for us often contradicting herself when it suits her.

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.
