Pros

Easy application process that doesn't require any of the personality assessments. Management doesn’t breathe over your shoulder so long as you’re completing your work. Adequate starting pay. Accepts entry level IT

Cons

Management is not chosen for their competency and are allowed to be bullies with no consequences. Health insurance options were horrible. Would have cost over $300 per paycheck to add my wife to my insurance plan which would have still required a $4,500 deductible before they’d cover anything. Raises can be withheld due to budget restraints, which happened often, and when we did get one it was between .75-3%. Absolutely unwilling to stand up to the contract owners to improve work environment, procedures, or assist employees. Training was done by someone who was unqualified to do so, leaving employees feeling insecure about being able to begin work. Management will lie or stretch the truth about things employees have done if they do not like you. Will refuse to promote if they are understaffed, which they often are.

Decent Benefits, Experience heavily dependent on your program and manager

Senior business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent health benefits, paid holidays, floating holidays, very flexible work schedule (WFH), maternity leave, etc. Strong culture of moving you to new opportunities within the company to advance your career.

Cons

Your experience with SAIC is heavily dependent on who your manager is and what program you are on. These views are not reflective of the company as a whole, but I hope the review helps the company realize that improvements can definitely be made. I had 3 managers during my time there on 2 programs. Poor leadership by junior management was not corrected by senior management and proved to make the work environment toxic and stressful. Although there were many opportunities for improvement on this particular team of the program, management/culture within program resisted change and held the attitude of "stay in your lane" whenever associates would push the status quo to make improvements. Because internal career movement is encouraged within SAIC, sometimes associates who are poor performers or poor fits for a particular position get reassigned to a different program just for the sake of retaining that employee. This can have a negative effect on the other team members as well as that employee.
