SAIC is very employee focused with flexible schedules and great benefits. Their pay scale is competitive, but… (See cons) There are many opportunities and a wide variety of fields to find a work home at SAIC.
Cons
While they’re payscale is competitive, it becomes less competitive the longer you are with the company. It can be difficult to “move up”, and due to the nature of government contracting, it can be easy to get stuck in pools of complacency.
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.
