      Pros

      At the start, they were good at giving you the feeling the company's work is important and meaningful. I really enjoyed being involved in govt contacts, interesting work.

      Cons

      There are serious management issues in the Oak Ridge office and the company's as a whole. Employees are routinely taken advantage of, forced overtime, taking away education benefits even after the company and economy bounced back after the recession, forcing employees to break vacation plans because they can't seem to stay adequately staffed (they refuse to hire enough people to do the work), constant micromanagement, blocking employee advancement and flattening all opportunities for growth within departments.

      Pros

      The SAIC management on my contract are excellent.

      Cons

      After completing my first years, I have no complaints. My SAIC experience has been everything that I had hoped.

      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.
