Pros

I have always had a flexible schedule, and with young children, this is important to me. I am able to work remotely, pre- and post-pandemic, but SAIC is receptive of working with each employee on a schedule that works. SAIC is outcomes-based, regardless of the times you work as long as you are productive and reaching company-aligned goals.

Cons

I believe there is still some work to be done on benefits. However, that is generally a concern with most employers.

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.
