Pros

The majority of the employees are extremely bright, very friendly people, with a variety of work. My manager is as much of a mentor as a manager; he takes a personal interest in my career inside and outside of SAIC. The 15% stock purchase plan is nice, and my boss supports flex time.

Cons

Barriers to jobs because of clearance issues, organization amongst offices could use work, job titles don't necessarily reflect the work you do. Although there is a variety of work, it means employees have many different projects going on at once, and managers can not be connected very much to the work that is being performed.

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.
