Pros

The company has a lot of contracts and opportunities for growth and they work in a lot of interesting areas. They do a lot to make the atmosphere fun to work in, such as small parties. Nearly all of the managers I have had here have been excellent.

Cons

The company is mostly government contracting so work can sometimes be up in the air when contracts come to an end. Make sure you understand how much time is left on your contract and what your opportunities are from there.

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.
