SAIC Employee Reviews about "health insurance"

Cons

Bad management and politics interfering at work with favoritism among coworkers. Company site lost major contracts and many people were laid off. Not much room for growth - lack of meaningful task to help you learn.

Cons

Their health insurance isn’t as good as I’ve had in the past and is pricier than some but overall seems ok

Cons

I was extremely happy at SAIC for almost 15 years, but the company seems to be moving in the wrong direction today. Service Centers (HR, AR, AP, etc.) are replacing many positions within the line organizations and employees who have been with the company the longest are being laid off. I understand that service centers make good business sense in many ways, but SAIC is taking it too far. They used to care about their employees. Current employees laid off due to the new service centers are not being hired to work in the service centers. I assume that's because they can hire people with little or no experience off the street dirt cheap.

Cons

The benefits package leaves quite a lot to be desired. The health insurance is merely adequate and the 401k matching is only 50 cents on the dollar for the first 6% of income.

Cons

I've never worked for a company so bent into tormeting employees into submission and compliance than SAIC. Like other Beltway Bandits it is a company deeply mired in a government/military mindset (of operation and profit taking) that just doesn't fit in the twenty first century. You're reminded constantly about ethics not for your sake but for theirs. Immediate supervisors and managers are very removed from you; if you have not been here for more than three years you are an outsider. Time keeping policies are stiffling, obsesive-cumpulsive and oppresive (in the last month I've had mine rejected four times for little things). It quickly becomes a dead-end job and you dread waking up each morning to face your commute, spend eight gruelling hours at your desk and pray for time to go fast so you can leave. You're basically a cog in the machine. Period. Heck, there aren't even supplies in the kitchen or the work area I was in (i.e., basics like napkins, spoons, cups, pencils, pens). I bought my own pens, pencils and cups from the CVS down the street. What does this remind you of? The word you're thinking of starts with a 'P'. You have to use client computers, which are boarded up ('secured') so much, you can't even use SAICs own document management systems correctly. And let's not get started on the quality of the projects you do. If you've been in a government project before you've seen it: milk the government for all the time you can, while you can. No quality, no real management of the issues that the government has, outdated ideas, you get the point. If you get a call from an SAIC recruiter, just politely tell them to go away. The guys at HQ have it good. If you have TS/SCI clearance and I guess if you work at a really exotic location (e.g., research) you're good too. Otherwise, it is hell. Stay away.

Cons

HR department sucks. I contacted HR several times to get more information on the Health Insurance benefits and no one seems to reply. I also applied to another position through employee career portal and no HR responded. Management is also really bad.

Cons

The benefits package was absolutely pitiful. Outlandishly expensive company owned health insurance that didn't really cover much of anything with a ridiculously high deductible. Over all got the vibe of an extreme disconnect between upper level managment and the lower level employees. People were dropping right and left from the project.

Cons

SAIC’s higher managements lack of the ability to say no. . As for benefits don’t get sick. The health insurance is overpriced and you have to pay a big chunk before they cover anything. This is not a company you will spend your career with.
