Pros

Fairly stable company and ok benefits.Good place to get experience and perform a variety of roles, which, makes you attractive for other companies.

Cons

Was a better company before it went public and employees were treated better. Employees used to be more creative and entrepreneurial and that was a result of environment. New environment is more corporate and a slave to the stockholders Today leadership doesn't seem to be accountable for poor results and they are all over the Map. Instead they re org and protect jobs. I have seen the best employees leave and thrive and decent less talented folks stay. Company is moving forward with a ton of changes and none seem to make the employees comfortable, therefore more including me will leave. I think company stock performance will decline as a result of being unable to keep high performers.

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.
