Pros

1. Strong Work Culture: I enjoy the positive work culture and support from my colleagues, It brings a collaborative and pleasant work environment 2. Growth Opportunities: SAIC provides ample opportunities for professional growth and development through diverse projects, ERGS, programs, and continued education through various sources. 3. Cutting-Edge Technology: Working at SAIC to me means being at the forefront of technology, with access to advanced tools and systems that enhance our professional skills. 4. Mission-Driven Work: It brings me much pride and motivation in contributing to important national and global missions, providing a huge sense of purpose in work

Cons

1. Leadership Changes: Frequent changes in leadership seems to have caused uncertainty and a shift in workflows, affecting long-term project stability. However, we see that CEO Toni Townes-Whitley has implemented organizational restructuring to streamline leadership and enhance agility, "reducing the impact of frequent changes and fostering a more stable environment"

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.
