Pros

Cutting edge research and engineering contracts and projects. The thing they value the most is their employees and the company is largely employee owned. The pay is competitive. They aren't afraid to give you a big bonus in the form of cash and shares if you are a high performer.

Cons

The benefits are average. There isn't much opportunity to work from home. There are fewer engineers and researchers on the board and in upper level management than previously. Healthcare plans favor those in DC and California. Healthcare plans for those in Texas and Florida should be changed to get more bang for the buck. You may be under utilized. If you have skills x, y, z management may only let you use x skills.

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.
