Pros

One of the nice things about working at SAIC among many is that they are very flexible with schedules. My current manager understands the importance of family and when time off is needed, there is never any questions as long as there is coverage.

Cons

Sometimes management does not see all of the hard work that the employees put into their positions due to the fact that they went to a Matrix style organization. And because of this, employee's can sometimes feel as though they are not a valued asset to the company.

Pros

Great team. Supervisors are incredibly supportive and don't micromanage, The job flexibility and work life balance have to be top of the industry. Nothing but good things to say about SAIC

Cons

Only 1 con. Salaries for Pricing Analyst seem a little low compared to others in the industry. My specific location needs an update to the salary plan because it's outdated. My salary and experience is not commensurate with my location

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.
