Pros

They let you work with minimal interference and trust you to do the job. Seems to have nice people where it counts. Give you the resources you need to do your job effectively and encourage you to think outside the box. The leaders of my team are likely the most competent and dedicated leaders in the company. Decent benefits

Cons

Poorly run at the upper and mid levels. Pay increases were not given as initially stated. Compensation for positions at and around my level are not enough to enable someone to survive on their own without assistance or going into deep debt or broke. Employee voices do not seem to be heard or matter to those in upper management positions.

Pros

Various programs to support each employee independently. Education Benefits Internal Opportunity

Cons

More PTO and flexibility with the PTO for employees would keep many people.

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.
