Pros

Big company, able to pay competitively, and is well-positioned to find other work in the event of a contract loss.

Cons

When I worked for this company years ago, the insurance premiums were fair. They weren't cheap, but average. I recently returned to the company, and I expected the premiums would be fair. Instead, they were more than twice what I was paying at the job I left for health insurance. I can tell from the amount of the dental premiums that I was actually paying about 100%. I guess its nice that they can negotiate an acceptable dental plan, but they didn't pay much (or anything) into it. The benefits really do translate into whether or not the company cares about the employees. The politics is pretty discouraging.

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.
