Pros

Great people at all levels. Honestly I have never worked with a group of better people who come from a fairly wide experience base for an organization with such a narrow focus. I think the company does a very good job sharing gains with even low level employees such as myself. I work with an intergrated contractor / military team and have made great friends at work in in both the service and the company. I can talk honestly with my managers and they give me honest answers. I really like working for SAIC, they are a cut above any company I have worked for in the past.

Cons

None really. Timekeeping software is a bit tough to work with at first. Really any annoyances I have had have come from working at a remote site and having to deal with an HR department that is hundreds of miles away. They do a great job but dealing with issues by telephone and email can be more frustrating than being able to walk upstairs to an HR department and talk to people face to face. The online performance evaluation program can be a bit of a pain to an employee who is used to completing their annual performance reviews face to face also but works pretty well for something of its type.

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.
