Pluspunten

Management is flexible for time-off.

Minpunten

Limited opportunities for professional growth. Promotions are preselected without regard for qualifications. Pay is well below industry average and management is not concerned with increasing so as to better staff operations. Benefits are hit and miss, mostly miss, and eligibility changes frequently. Management makes no attempt to share future plans with the "worker bees" and keeps them in the dark as often as possible. Actually, management doesn't give much information to the employees at all. This type of mentality generally leads to a mistrust of management, a lack of pride of where you work, and is not someplace that I'd recommend. The business sense of management is to "put all you eggs in one basket". Translated that means that all resources are poured into the largest program, and when that fails or gets cut back, those employees are laid off. The IPO was a failure. The stock price hasn't gone anywhere. and that's an indication of managements lack of competence.

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.
