SAIC Reviews

Pros

I've had the pleasure of working her for almost two decades. SAIC has been like a second home to me. I enjoy the work I do and the people I work with. The company provides the flexibility to allow me to balance my work and home needs. The work I do is challenging and very satisfying.

Cons

Personally, I have none. This company and the managers that I have worked with have been supportive and terrific to work with.

Pros

Encourages professional development and encourages entrepreneurial activity

Cons

There were really no cons to working there.

Pros

Multiple hundreds of open job reqs across the country, and across the globe.

Cons

Management is focused on winning new contracts, while providing limited support to current contracts and the employees working those contracts. HR is consistently difficult to work with if you (heaven forbid) need anything from them. Lip service to "people", but little or no actual support evidenced. Middle management culture is arrogant and condescending to field workers. Top heavy upper management is disconnected from actual customer and employee needs.

Pros

My boss and the previous help desk Manager have been absolutely wonderful in terms of making sound judgement calls and always fair in giving out opportunities. Both of them have really provided the best work environment for team. We are able to focus on our tasks and also have the flexibility to enjoy small talk from time to time and both have gone out of their way to do small things like get our team breakfast or make room in the schedule to take off with no judgement. They also have take account for everyone's mental well-being and allowing team to take time to take off for family and work around family schedule for things like school and doctors appointments. I was guaranteed medical benefits, and paid leave with sick days and Holiday pay. SAIC has been a wonderful company to be apart of.

Cons

I wish there were more locations for jobs in the IT field.

Pros

Flexible work schedules to include 4-day work weeks when projects and customers allow Robust training opportunities are available, including tuition reimbursement, but the availability of this is dependent on asking your leadership for access to training resources. (bad leaders don't push training)

Cons

If you have a bad team, then you are not going to enjoy your life, and training opportunities are going to be minimal. You can pretty much tell if you have a good manager by how they respond to your asking for additional training or certification opportunities.

Pros

Great benefits, tuition reimbursement, good amount of paid holidays/time off

Cons

Minimal opportunity to move up, didn’t receive opportunities to grow my career

Pros

Good people to work with. Reasonable salaries. Their efforts to keep employees informed. Huge stable of contracts

Cons

Mediocre contribution to benefits. They're trying to be cost competitive by keeping multiplier down. I worked at a customer site, so it was difficult to form an attachment to the company at large
