Pros

Changing contracts every few years means you learn more skills to add to the resume Many places to move around jobs to all within a reasonable commuting area. Priority to find a new job within the company

Cons

Communication was a big problem. Sit at the site you are assigned and do your job. If your a low maintenance employee then you'll be fine and hear from the boss every few months. If your a needy employee who needs to talk to the boss once a week you'll become a "problem" for them and they will view you as needing hand holding.

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.
