Pros

Excellent pay at hire but not words on past performance or salary/merit increaase. Not much of a pro but the initial pay was good. Great opportunity to work remotely. I was doing so since 2012 in my last employment engagement, but continued remote engagement is definately a positive. I appriciate the colleagues I work with. For the most part, they are professional and willing to do what is necessary to get the job done.

Cons

SAICs continued position on supporting Covid mandates. If I didn't work remotely, I wouldn't have received a religious exemption and I'd be out of a job. Their position has restricted on site engagement or business travel, which ultimately is at a detriment to business and career opportunities. Pushing the known mRNA experimental injections are known to cause multiple health problems up to including deaths. SAIC doesn't publish VARES or deaths of employees, but I have to believe there are several. If not now, there will be. It seems leadership has their heads in the sand on this topic and taking their marching orders from the administration. Doesn't show any leadership in this area and really a complete disappointment.

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.
