Pros

Good leave/holiday benefits. Cost for medical insurance is mediocre. The company has a great core value and is hopefully going back in the right direction. Since the split with Leidos, they don't seem to care much about the employee, just the bottom dollar.

Cons

SAIC does not value their employees or the knowledge they gain, nor do they compensate them for it. In the years I've been with SAIC, I've only received one pay increase for merit, the rest were small cost of living increases. I went to my manager with an issue and was actually told "Life isn't fair, it is what it is. Just deal with it." WOW. I was speechless. Which is why I'm writing this.

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.
