Pros

I learned a lot working at SAIC and constantly had management's support with different projects I wanted to get into. As an intern, I always felt respected and they paid me an amazing rate at $16/hr. SAIC offers a rotating employee schedule which means you can be jumping around the SAIC corporate world performing different jobs and functions throughout your career and they tend to be very open to your desires to jump around. The one time I asked for a day off to go on a cruise they gave it to me so I have no complaints there at all.

Cons

Sometimes it's very difficult to get ahold of upper management. I remember multiple times haven't to wait 1+ weeks to get a 30 minute appt with them and I'm not sure if it was because of my standing as an intern or simply because they were that busy. As far as my direct manager it wasn't very easy to get in touch with them either but they do have an open door policy so as long as you keep your eyes open you can normally talk to them the same day. Because of their lack of availability it often means that they don't give very much feedback or recognition.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
