      Pay can be decent, work is unstable. - Anonymous employee SAIC Employee Review

      Pros

      If you're working on a GOV contract, pay is decent (but dependent on how the contract is written/negotiated).

      Cons

      Contract team negotiated terrible contract terms (severely underbidding) in order to win re-award. No way for contract to be profitable. Lay-offs ensued throughout the years. Contract now runs on a skeleton crew despite heavy volume, making it nearly impossible to maintain Service Level Agreements. Program Leadership still comes down hard on front-line workers despite workers being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you're laid off, SAIC will tout redeployment programs to find a job on another contract within 30 days of your separation date but I am yet to see anyone actually successfully land somewhere else.

      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.
