Pros

Contract Management Top Notch. Working with professionals at every level of the contract. Provides both in office and telecommuting opportunities. Top down management reporting with scheduled " All Hands Meetings" are informative - provides introduction of new employees, status of accomplishments for each area and the pulse of how we are doing with the client. Co-workers whether working in the Vienna office or with permanent telecommuters is seamless and availability is paramount. Team work, an forged relationships allows us to maintain timeline, schedules, etc. to get the job done.

Cons

As contractors, we run the risks of losing the clients/ contract. Facing that possibility now. Hoping Human Resoures realizes the value of each employee and steps up to the plate and assists in the transition to other contracts within SAIC.

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.
