Pros

Working alongside of some of the most experienced and qualified people in their field. Opportunity to utilize your expertise in a positive way. High tech atmosphere that is geared toward supporting important government and military projects. Good pay, benefits, and working conditions.

Cons

The company tries to be all things to all people. Everything from training to mandatory policies. There seems to be a rule or regulation for everything. Many have drop dead deadlines which conflict with one's daily work schedule. I found that, at times, I had to make a choice whether to get my work done or engage in some of these seminar type functions. When you have to work overtime to complete some of these deadlines there is something inherently wrong with the system.

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.
