In the grand scheme, probably a good place to work, but this locale had/has its share of issues. - Electronics Technician SAIC Employee Review

Pros

Employer has a good compensation package. Decent at flexibility (work/life balance). Executive support staff excellent (at described location).

Cons

Favoritism was heavy. Middle management and some supervisors were among the worst I've experienced. Respect for employees (by those said supervisors) was low. Easy to become stuck in what you are doing and where you are. Opinions of employees not taken nor valued.

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.
