Fired when I got cancer

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I met some neat people and clients. There are a handful of highly ethical people in Upper Management, but they are the minority. They still have a holiday party! You take PTO to drive to the headquarters building and snack on pretzels until 7. If that doesn’t say Party, I don’t know what does.

Cons

I gave up other career opportunities to try to build a career here. Their position was that cancer is not a disability. I was laid off the minute I asked to discuss accommodation. Even though I have the layoff notice, their unbelievable position was that I had left voluntarily. When I got legal advice, several lawyers told me that SAIC was the worst of the worst and simply made no attempt to follow the law. People still call me and ask “What was that horrible company you worked for? I think I know someone who applied there.” They also put exempt personnel (most everyone) on and off Leave Without Pay when work is slow.

Pros

Large company with many options to work for different customers or programs. Company is very supportive of lateral movement. Very flexible work schedules for those that earn management/customer trust.

Cons

Very weak leadership all seemingly marking time until retirement. Compensation structure continues to move more money to the very top without results. Constant reorganization is highly distracting to execution and pulls attention from growth
