Pros

Company provides a large amount of information and is an improvement over others I have worked with.

Cons

Would be nice to have more information prior to the end of a period of performance regarding actual contract milestones, what we could do to help our continued success and ensure we feel part of the process of renewing or re-competing a contract.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to provide honest feedback about your time thus far at SAIC. A few people have left similar comments about annual performance reviews. It has been a topic of conversation in leadership strategy meetings. As a result, performance metrics and incentive plans are being refined. I recommend revisiting MyHR where you can personally set goals and manage a check-in conversation with your manager. Employees play an equally vital role, as it is a collaborative process that requires both roles to be active participants. The employee role includes reflecting on performance and developmental goals, reviewing goals and progress regularly and holding the manager accountable for providing ongoing coaching and feedback. The role of the manager is to align your priorities with the organization and team efforts and recognize your achievements. Together, your manager/team can review your goals and provide feedback. If you would like to further discuss, please email us at saiccommunications@saic.com.

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.
