I really enjoy working at SAIC - Recensione dipendente - Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) presso SAIC

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.

If you're working on a GOV contract, pay is decent (but dependent on how the contract is written/negotiated).

Contract team negotiated terrible contract terms (severely underbidding) in order to win re-award. No way for contract to be profitable. Lay-offs ensued throughout the years. Contract now runs on a skeleton crew despite heavy volume, making it nearly impossible to maintain Service Level Agreements. Program Leadership still comes down hard on front-line workers despite workers being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you're laid off, SAIC will tout redeployment programs to find a job on another contract within 30 days of your separation date but I am yet to see anyone actually successfully land somewhere else.
