Pros

Overall, the company is pretty great to work for. They value and really try to nurture growth within the company, they keep their people informed, and communication with internal SAIC teams/systems usually has a fast response time and any issues (timecard, security, hr, etc) get resolved in a timely manner. As a whole, the benefits are pretty solid, with one minor grievance with the accrued leave system.

Cons

The only thing I would like changed is the leave system. You have to accrue leave weekly, which is not necessarily an issue, but they also don't give any sick days. So, if you get sick or end up having some medical issue before you've been able to accrue a little bit of leave (you only get around 2.4 hours a week), you will either need to go in the negative for leave or take LWOP. It would be nice if employees were given a set number of sick days while keeping the accrued leave or just given a larger number of set PTO days per year that employees get after 30 days of working and get rid of the leave accrual system.

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.
