Pluspunten

Great bonuses: Referring friends who have TS/SCI + fullscope polygraph gets you a $500 bonus. Great pay: Cleared software engineers with 5 years experience typically get $48,000/yr.

Minpunten

Management makes decisions based on blogs. 401k eligibility goes from on to off to on based on what position/billet you're in. Frequently have to pay for supplies such as PCs, router, VIsual Studio, or Zend Studio Have to timeshare equipment (AM and PM shifts for the same PC) Managers get to use your cube as their additional storage area for boxes, books, swag, other office supplies Managers save program funds by not reimbursing for customer directed travel expenses (like hotel, food, conference fees) Division manager think that a qualified project lead is a "go-getter" fresh out of college Security frequently misplaces paperwork causing long delays in processing

Pluspunten

Decent learning and development opportunities. Some really passionate and hard working people on your teams. Performance management is relaxed and flexible.

Minpunten

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.
