Pros

I always felt that our main drive at SAIC was to "do the right thing" rather than just make the most profit, which was important to me. I was paid a very respectable salary and the benefits were pretty good. Management was generally open, professional and friendly.

Cons

Sometimes, I felt that leadership was lacking, and there was little drive to move people around within the company or be creative to retain positions within the company when our contract was completed. Internal communication and collaboration within the company was also lacking.

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.
