Pluspunten

Flexible schedules - "Life Happens" and they allow time off when needed. Smart people with many talents and skills. Decent compensation and benefits. Pleasant working conditions.

Minpunten

No advancement for many years unless you move to different business unit or are in with the right crowd. Don't value new, creative ideas Just want you to adhere to the latest policy. Too much importance in cutting costs, not enough importance on getting new work. Too much value on direct time charging very little overhead hours allowed. You must find your own work when things get slow. Don't allow enough training to keep pace with newer technologies. Centralization of HR, purchasing, IT and travel expenses will cause you to use valuable overhead hours waiting for support when you could be working. Used to be an innovative, employee-owned company, fun to be a part of, exciting and now is just like all the other corporations where only the bottom line matters.

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.
