Pros

Competitive Pay for the industry

Cons

Cronyism is rampant in the higher branches of the company. Their training of "See Something, Say Something" is just window dressing and ethics is questionable at best. It is dangerous if you are calling out the toxic behavior of someone in the good 'ol boys club. Human Resources is did absolutely nothing to address the toxic behavior and is only there to po protect the company rather than manage ethical standards. Rather than hold management accountable, the seek out the low hanging fruit as a way of addressing the issues. If you are a highly skilled female engineer, SAIC is not a company you want to invest in; at least this is true for the EDIS contract.

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.
