Pros

I didn't work at any SAIC facilities (client site), but they did keep us in the loop of what was going on with the company. They also provided an good yearly review that focused on building the employee up even though the employee was far away and a contractor for another client. They had a yearly family get together at an amusement park, which was really cool. They also provide a way to look at other jobs once a contract comes to a close.

Cons

You know that way I mentioned of looking at other jobs, yeah, it didn't work for me. I applied and applied away internally, with no luck. Finally I found another job. I worked there during the recession, so the raises weren't great, but I didn't totally buy that reason for not giving me as a good a raise as I totally deserved. Also, I worked with someone who had my exact same experience, exact same qualifications, doing the exact same thing, yet this person made more. Why? Probably because he was a male. But I don't disagree with how much I was paid.

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.
