Rock Solid benefits due to how huge the company is. I only ever dealt with like 2 people at SAIC periodically. I think if you get a good manager, that's all that really counts towards your perception of SAIC. We had a good manager. They also have a huge library of free courses you can take. They also were kind enough to pay for my SCRUM certification by incorporating it into our work and adding it as a requirement for the position.
Cons
The ISSAIC portal needs a lot of improvement, Thats about it. But I am biased because I am a web developer.

Thanks for the review! Have you thought about referring a friend to SAIC? Text ‘Refer’ to 71829 to get started.
After completing my first years, I have no complaints. My SAIC experience has been everything that I had hoped.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We wish you continued success and appreciate your efforts in making SAIC such a great place to work.
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.
