      Pros

      Interesting work, good work life balance, great people to work with, plenty of opportunities to grow both technically and managerially, day-to-day job is fun and exciting. Keep in mind that all of this is dependent on which division you work for within the company. Some divisions like mine are great, and some not so much. That probably explains the range of responses on this board.

      Cons

      Technical work is very often hindered by the overreaching IT policies. Much more locked down than it needs to be, causing employees great frustration in trying to accomplish their tasking.

      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.
