Pros

,401k, benefits Career advancement is what you make of it... work hard, get rewarded. Management listens to you, you have freedom to do your own thing, get rewrded for bright ideas, input is listened to, feedback from managers are helpful. Tuition reimbuse for evening classes is a good way to advance ones career

Cons

hard work, The lovely cold winters and sweltering summers. Its essentially government, work with so many bland people that you want to leave at 5:00 to keep your sanity Wish the pay was better, profit sharing would be nice, recreational facilities or a gym would be great.

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.
