Pros

SAIC is the largest federal government IT contractor from what I understand. It's shows from the beginning of employment. They are very organized and have a lot of resources for their employees. 2k for self training reimbursement and more. The upper management really cares about the people's wellbeing. When people are sick or lose a loved one they will go well out of their way to work with you. Upward mobility is good but it could be better.

Cons

Investigating their employees is something they do a lot. Many of my hard working friends have lost their jobs due to the many investigations they do on us. One lost his job because he put down he was done with his BA but was actually doing the very last class of the BA. Someone else lost their job because of something petty like that too. Other contractor over the same contract understood and worked with them same exact employee type.

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.
