Pros

Good pay. Decent vacation and 401K match.

Cons

Upper management isn’t good. Internal HR system is trash. Everything is a help desk ticket. You can’t hardly ever talk to a person. Company doesn’t care much for the workers out on contracts. Did I mention management wasn’t good. Health insurance is a small fortune. Overall the bad experiences out weigh the the good about the company. Would only come here for the pay long enough to establish that pay bracket.

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.
