      Pros

      I met some neat people and clients. There are a handful of highly ethical people in Upper Management, but they are the minority. They still have a holiday party! You take PTO to drive to the headquarters building and snack on pretzels until 7. If that doesn’t say Party, I don’t know what does.

      Cons

      I gave up other career opportunities to try to build a career here. Their position was that cancer is not a disability. I was laid off the minute I asked to discuss accommodation. Even though I have the layoff notice, their unbelievable position was that I had left voluntarily. When I got legal advice, several lawyers told me that SAIC was the worst of the worst and simply made no attempt to follow the law. People still call me and ask “What was that horrible company you worked for? I think I know someone who applied there.” They also put exempt personnel (most everyone) on and off Leave Without Pay when work is slow.

      Pros

      Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

      Cons

      Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
