Pros

They do seem to help most people who lose coverage. Pay can be good. Good people on my project, happiness is very much project specific. I would give my current project 5 start, my rating is the company.

Cons

Benefits (particularly medical) No comp time. People above PM level are pretty much clueless and could not manage a convenience store. In Huntsville, too much inbreeding, buddies helping buddies regardless of ability. West Point, Virginia Tech graduates are golden regardless of skill set. Used to have great Christmas parties and employee functions, now PM's can barely get employees lunches.

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.
