Pros

offers health benefits, 401k and so forth...etc.

Cons

Poor leadership. Quick to fire people without a 2nd thought. Hyprocritical, micro manage people...even though it's their fault that things aren't scheduled or done in a timely fashion. Lack of organization but want things done....no questions asked. DO as I say..not do as I do mentality. Project Manager wants to work you like a dog..and if you don't have 100 hours in the books...he thinks your lazy. THinks job is more important than you having a life outside of work . Lack of concern or care for employees. Employees have worked in bad work environments but that never factors in. If a employee makes a mistake...they are quick to want to fire you. NO mentoring...no leadership....no guidance.

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.
