Pros

-Can choose semi flexible working hours

Cons

- Treat employees terrible - Overworked and under paid - Zero career development - Engineering Management has no engineering background - Cut corners to meet deadlines - constantly sacrifices quality for cost and schedule - management often has zero understanding of any of the engineering development, yet will make changes and provide direction that causes months of negative work and project slip. - work environment is loud, packed, and stinks of gas and chemicals - No sick days - doesn't remote work (even during severe weather) - Very little time off for holidays - No direction or training for onboarding (thrown into the mess and expected to figure it out) -extreme disorganization -outdated processes -expected to work everyone else's job for them (engineers are just treated as a skilled hourly worker) I'd only take a job here if it is your last resort.

Pros

Contract work was good, room for growth and raises/bonuses were given for drive and performance.

Cons

Corporate is useless and scummy. I was given a lay-off notice due to contract loss (which is fine, no hard feelings). The lay-off notice stated that I could remain their employee for a month while searching for internal opportunities, while they covered all benefit premiums, which seemed like a generous offer. During this month, I was given two verbal offers for positions, both of which were rescinded at no fault of my own (one re-chose the candidate to make an offer to after extending an offer to me, the other made an offer, then realized that I did not meet the experience requirements). At the end of the month, they took the benefit premiums out of my final paycheck and refused to uphold their word when I questioned it. Additionally, they misreported my last day of work to my state's Department of Labor as over a month after my true last day worked and refused to correct the mistake when asked. Also, the corporate IT help-line just plain sucks at their job.

Culture problem

Pros

competitive leave package about on par with market expectations

Cons

Company preaches compliance and ethics, but expect to be ghosted by HR and the reporting hotline if you follow our annual training and report it. In my opinion, I was instructed on multiple occasions to work off the clock, and then retaliated against for reporting it. Your experience is totally dependent upon the contract you are on as management freely makes up rules and procedure different from corporate documentation and there is no oversight whatsoever. Management is totally unaware of timecharging law and openly retaliates. HR-wise, there is “no one driving the bus.” They are rude, spiteful, ill-informed, and probably overworked. The culture at SAIC has changed and for the worse.
