Pros

only 40 hours a week. and the pay is good. that's it. no other pros.

Cons

absolutely zero onboarding. unavailable manager. no training to orient me to the contract I am supporting. job not as promised it would be during the interviews. yes, there were red flags before I signed the offer letter, but I was excited by the opportunity. Should have listened to my gut. Benefits are subpar compared to my private industry jobs. Less pto to start, annual amount increases at a slower rate than past jobs. Health, dental, and vision insurance is MUCH more costly than previous job. SAIC clearly subsidizes much less of the premium than others. 401k match-- where is it? Supposed to be 4% but I haven't seen a single dime and have been participating in the plan for over three months. Turns out it's a quarterly match, deposited at the end of the first month of the following quarter. Talk about nickeling and diming its employees. We lose out on the growth of that investment. I have yet to see people having fun at this job. Lots of dour workers who skip the pleasantries (both SAIC folks and the customers)

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.
