Pros

they pay well. they do give me a good career opportunities for moving around (because you end up being treated badly on each project and wanting to move.)

Cons

i've been with them for three years now, and I've seen them treat myself and other diverse candidates like disposable, second class employees, no matter how much we contribute and no matter how much the customer celebrates us. Everyone ends up leaving. they have tons of discrimination lawsuits. I mean there are several, a multitude of them. also, the benefits they offer are absolutely horrible. Health Insurance is expensive and almost everything you do you end up having to pay out of pocket.

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.
