Pros

From my interview to my first week of employment with SAIC, I can honestly say I work for an amazing company! My team, my manager, my co-workers and even the O's have all been amazing! SAIC puts us (their employees) first and I have witnessed this first hand. Making sure we are taking care of our mental health as well as being able to recognize if/when we need time off we are able to take it with no questions asked. This has really helped the industry as a whole and SAIC recognizes this. The amount of knowledge that I have gained just from being here one year is unlike any other job I've held with any other company. There is no limit at SAIC and it goes beyond what you can imagine, the possibilities are endless. I am so glad I became a part of the SAIC team. I plan on retiring from here!

Cons

I can honestly say I have not experienced any cons while being here at SAIC. I love it and it is an amazing place to be!

Poor Pay, Poor Retention Efforts by Management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are actually great. So is the work schedule, they utilize 9/80’s so you will receive every other Friday off.

Cons

The salary is not good. The analysts on the programs that are requesters do not provide enough information and are incredibly difficult to work with. Bandwidth often gets spread thin due to a staffing issue (that the high turnover rate does not assist with).
