Pros

It’s been a stable opportunity with a lot of flexibility. The people use to be amazing but it seems like most people are leaving or in the process of looking elsewhere.

Cons

At best 1% raise, inflation is at 6% although it feels like inflation is more 50-75% depending on what you are buying. Either way, after 10 years I just can’t afford to keep working here. Extremely bittersweet.

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.
