Pros

Work expectations are normal. They are generally willing to take on people with less experience. It's a generic contractor. It's good experience for a entry to mid level IT job. I'm not sure they even expect anyone to stick around and they won't hold it against you when you grow out of their job. Don't expect a career, but it can certainly help you build one if you play it right.

Cons

Pay is low and they are resistant and smug about increases. Contracts come and go and so do employees.

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.
