      Great place to start a career, but that's it. - Senior Project Manager SAIC Employee Review

      Pros

      Starting off, pay is good. Interesting material and projects, get to work with very smart people Benefits as far as Medical, and Retirement are nice, keeping in line with industry norms. Even Stock purchase program is a nice bonus

      Cons

      VERY hard to advance your career. Not many remote positions, and any that are available are already taken by employees that the requirements are tailored to. If you're looking to advance up a ladder, good luck. If you have a family, you should probably look elsewhere. The pay starting out is great, but keep in mind, the contract you're working on has a set amount for yearly increases. You won't get paid more if you do better work than anyone else, it'll be dependent on the contract. Bonuses are communicated when signing on, but they're non-existent. They're for the Program directors and above. Also the PTO is terrible. Starting out you have 2 weeks of PTO. Good luck if you have a family and want to take time off for vacations or even catching a baseball game or golf on a nice day. Keep in mind, you're working mostly with the government, so when they say jump, and you ask how high, they'll answer you 3 months later, but wanted your jump done 4 months earlier.

      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.
