Pros

Consultant for over 16 years with 7 very different companies. SAIC is the best so far. They look out for their people and have strong ethics to do what is best for the client, not the bottom line. On the project side, this large company has outstanding checks and balances systems to ensure programs are running efficiently and managers receive attention and assistance to quickly get back on track. HR is outstanding and eagerly helps resolve any individual issues.

Cons

Cost of benefits is rather high especially compared to a small company that receives better rates.

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.
