Pros

Great benefits, schedule flexibility that allows for a very healthy balance of work and home life which I've never experienced before this job, tons of opportunity to do so much. We're treated with respect and everyone is friendly. It's not a toxic environment and there's no pressure to be someone you don't want to be. Most issues get resolved quickly. The team that I'm in the field with has completely made all the difference in the world in making sure I have the tools I need to be successful. I enjoy waking up for work and it feels really good.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there are many missed opportunities where Field training could be capitalized on, with respect to how many different systems we work with. I feel like my onboarding time could have been better spent in the field under instruction. But I've managed to get what I need by staying super flexible.

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.
