Enjoyed making a difference for the customer, but a battle with hidden chauvinism from my manager. - Anonymous employee SAIC Employee Review

Pros

SAIC has some very good benefits, including discounts for cellphones and computers. The internal website available to all employees makes it very easy to feel involved with the company, even if you are at a remote site.

Cons

DEFINITELY a good-ole-boys network. My management treated the women on the team differently than the men. For example, handshakes for all of the men, yet hugs were expected from the women. Excuse me, how is THAT appropriate??! My manager did not get any of the women's last names correct when introducing them but knew all of the men's names without issue.

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.
