      Pros

      Good people and interesting work. Used to be a great place to work.

      Cons

      Benefits became terrible over time, discriminating against older and sicker people, not covering medications and DME. The entire culture changed and drove away a lot of good people. It should have stayed Employee-Owned. As an example of the ineptitude, they redid the lobby with fancy marble floors and then fired all the Administrative Assistants and made everyone do their own support work. Then they had to strategically put ugly carpet over the tile to keep people from sliding down if the floors got wet when it rained. That is a parable for SAIC culture. People come last now.

      We appreciate your time as a previous SAIC employee. Our employees are the heart of everything we do. They drive our mission and support our purpose. We have increased our investments in our employee fringe benefits to offer more flexibility and comprehensive leave programs. These changes are based on the priorities that are important to our employees and their families.

      The SAIC management on my contract are excellent.

      Cons

      After completing my first years, I have no complaints. My SAIC experience has been everything that I had hoped.

      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.
