      Pros

      none, new Mgt would be preferred

      Cons

      You're setup to fail at this location and the 1st level Mgr onsite has no clue as well as having favorites who can do no wrong. You're expected to know everything and they don't treat the new employees well which is very unfair since they are trying to learn the new system. All Mgt, cares about is not losing the contract but Mgt. does not know how to setup the process so that those doing the work will succeed. It's a horrible environment and warning others to stay away unless your desparate. New employees quitting current employees want out.

      The SAIC management on my contract are excellent.

      Cons

      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.
