      Pros

      • Exposure to large-scale AWS and Kubernetes environments • Ability to implement Zero Trust policies and strengthen cloud security • Meaningful technical challenges • Opportunities to take ownership of critical systems

      Cons

      • Unrealistic expectations paired with insufficient leadership support • Engineering decisions often driven by program pressure rather than sound technical strategy • Chronic communication gaps between management and technical teams • Recognition lagged far behind the level of responsibility carried • Retention incentives were offered, but core structural and cultural issues remained unchanged

      The SAIC management on my contract are excellent.

      Pros

      They have work and constantly looking for good talent.

      Cons

      Well let's say HR shelters bad SVPs/VPs. It seems like everyone here is a Director/VP/SVP and all of them are protected by being jerks to employees. I'll leave it at that as no matter which group you go into, SAIC does a good job of corrupt management especially after Two of the former CEOs. There is a really strong good ole boys club at VP levels and above. Benefits go up and raises are usually 0% -2% if you are lucky. You will take the blame for ineffective management at top levels. Turnover is a major issue. Vacation time you will never get a chance if you are trying to get a raise or be a good employee.
