      It was a great ride for 20+ years. I feel like I left just in time. - Proposal Manager SAIC Employee Review

      Pros

      The company gave me every opportunity to advance. I had a great time, particularly in the early days when we were still employee-owned. I loved the entrepreneurial spirit of the company and really felt like if you did a good job, you were rewarded.

      Cons

      The company changed a lot after Dr. Beyster stepped down. When SAIC went public, it changed the company's focus. Senior management was not interested in innovation and interesting work. They became focused completely on profit and revenue. We had a lot of senior management turnover and good managers left. I left when my Group President retired and new management was not strong.

      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.
