Pros

SAIC offers a great deal of job stability and opportunities for professional development. Leadership generally allows a high degree of autonomy in how you meet the customer's needs. Most of your colleagues tend to be highly educated, very experienced professionals.

Cons

As a large corporation, you lose some of the personal touch. Additionally, if you're away from the corporate hubs, staffing organization tends to be a little flat, not allowing much from to grow while staying in the area. That would make it tough for junior or intermediate levels but tends to work well for highly experienced professionals who are content with their role.

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.
