Pros

No wait time for benefits, health vision and dental have a couple of different price points and the cheaper one is quite affordable but it is a high deductible health plan Ability to buy and sell up to 40 hours time off Average pay for the position Moderate workload

Cons

Annoying processes with time keeping such as asking you to correct a timesheet from 3-4 months ago to change a charge code. Needed a secret clearance so the background check did take a while Mandatory quarterly meetings with no substance aside from the status of the contract Not a lot of opportunities in local area (most opportunities are in DMV area since they have lots of gov/DoD clients)

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.
