Sad. Each year degrades into something less with the average employee feeling undervalued and expendable. - Anonymous employee SAIC Employee Review

Pros

It is a very large company with lots of different areas of interest that one can possibly use for lateral career choices. Large collection of technical online resources usable by employees.

Cons

Has become too large to stay properly connected with the workers. Inconsistent treatment across business units. Not family friendly but very politically correct. Unappreciated and unnecessarily rampant low morale.

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.
