      Just Okay Is Not Okay - Systems Software Engineer SAIC Employee Review

      Pros

      I worked at SAIC for 7 years. The people I worked with were amazing. Everybody cared about each other and wanted to do well as a result. Management on my team valued everyone's opinion - even new hires. Team-building exercises were encouraged and supported. My coworkers were the reason why I stayed so long.

      Cons

      Insurance costs were outrageous. I received a job offer from another company with significantly cheaper costs, which is why I jumped ship. SAIC makes it very expensive for employees to start families - my monthly insurance cost was about $1200, with a $2500 deductible for employee + spouse before adding my daughter. Adding my daughter cost me roughly an additional $120 per month.

      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.
