Pros

Have had full support through my time at SAIC. Been very proud to work here. SAIC has a good internal hiring portal and always recommends seeking more challenging roles within the company.

Cons

Most of the company is contract based. If you are on the tail end, you may or may not win the next contract.

Pros

- There was a lot of great informal mentorship from the engineers that I had interacted with, most of them were knowledgeable and were consistently growing their technical skills - Being able to work on a wide variety of projects gave a lot of breadth to knowing how to implement various ML/CV/NLP solutions to them, - A large majority of folks here cared about each other and took time to check-in - Great work-life balance

Cons

- Career development resources are inequitably distributed. Management received full degree funding while requests for a ML conference, and $50 in technical books were rejected 2 years in a row despite 2% training allocation. - Upper management doesn't have formal experience with Artificial Intelligence, making it difficult for them to provide support to their teams and to sell solutions. - Promotions appear limited to original team members from 5+ years ago. With no formal discussion on what targets needed to be met for my own. - SDLC processes aren't consistently followed, and after 2 years the internal ticketing process still hasn't been systematized - Innovation Factory projects heavily constrain technology choices to specific low-code platforms. Stifling creative and attractive solutions - The company had hired far too many people on the possibility of getting more work, leading to a lot of us sitting around for weeks at a time. - Had around 6 managers in a 2 year period - Multiple rounds of layoffs that were all kept quiet
