Pros

SAIC always puts their employees first. How can work life improve for the employees? How can work life balance be what everyone is happy with? How to ensure the work provided is the best it can be? SAIC leadership answers all these for their employees and delivers at an exceptional level. Leadership ensures each employee is in position to be the best they can be for the customer. Great benefits as the cherry on top.

Cons

Not a con specifically for SAIC but contracts in general. Hard to be promoted and moved up when the monetary constraints of contracts limit what great employees can be paid. Great employees are what keep companies great and moving in a positive direction. Pay the great ones what they are worth. It will retain or entice great leaders/employees to be a part of the team for the lomg haul.

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.
