Pros

There are some really great people working on the contract, who work a lot of hours.

Cons

I am sure that other parts of SAIC are better. My comments are only about the SAIC EAST II contract. If you can perform you are given more and more work. Nothing seems to happen to the people that don't work. There was a layoff in 2017 but it was not clear why people got let go, performance didn't seem to play a part. Management did a very poor job with the layoff. Everyone knows who is not working but management doesn't seem to care. Some people don't even have to show up to work everyday. People are leaving the contract becasue management will not make the correct changes. Management seems to believe that they can hire anyone off the street to fill a position. Management has not changed in many years, there is no path for advancement. Management is stagnant.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
