Pros

No complaints with working there. I work and go home everyday.

Cons

Advancing your education in terms of bootcamps or reimbursements for certificates, needed for my role or not, are confusing. I’ve talked with the SAIC benefits team several times and have done the necessary steps they asked me to do with any requests for bootcamps or certification reimbursements. I’m told that this is something Saic will do and I’m told it’s not what they do. I understand that maybe my aws cloud practitioner won’t be eligible for reimbursement. But, I thought at the very least my Security+ renewal fee would be eligible since it’s required for my job role. Being told two different things is very confusing. Also, I dislike the favoritism. Everyone should be treated the same throughout the good and bad. I may stay until after the holidays for the year are completed, but my plans are undetermined.

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.
