Pros

Competitive Pay for the industry

Cons

Cronyism is rampant in the higher branches of the company. Their training of "See Something, Say Something" is just window dressing and ethics is questionable at best. It is dangerous if you are calling out the toxic behavior of someone in the good 'ol boys club. Human Resources is did absolutely nothing to address the toxic behavior and is only there to po protect the company rather than manage ethical standards. Rather than hold management accountable, the seek out the low hanging fruit as a way of addressing the issues. If you are a highly skilled female engineer, SAIC is not a company you want to invest in; at least this is true for the EDIS contract.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
