Your experience with SAIC is heavily dependent on who your manager is and what program you are on. These views are not reflective of the company as a whole, but I hope the review helps the company realize that improvements can definitely be made. I had 3 managers during my time there on 2 programs. Poor leadership by junior management was not corrected by senior management and proved to make the work environment toxic and stressful. Although there were many opportunities for improvement on this particular team of the program, management/culture within program resisted change and held the attitude of "stay in your lane" whenever associates would push the status quo to make improvements. Because internal career movement is encouraged within SAIC, sometimes associates who are poor performers or poor fits for a particular position get reassigned to a different program just for the sake of retaining that employee. This can have a negative effect on the other team members as well as that employee.
