Pros
only 40 hours a week. and the pay is good. that's it. no other pros.
Cons
absolutely zero onboarding. unavailable manager. no training to orient me to the contract I am supporting. job not as promised it would be during the interviews. yes, there were red flags before I signed the offer letter, but I was excited by the opportunity. Should have listened to my gut. Benefits are subpar compared to my private industry jobs. Less pto to start, annual amount increases at a slower rate than past jobs. Health, dental, and vision insurance is MUCH more costly than previous job. SAIC clearly subsidizes much less of the premium than others. 401k match-- where is it? Supposed to be 4% but I haven't seen a single dime and have been participating in the plan for over three months. Turns out it's a quarterly match, deposited at the end of the first month of the following quarter. Talk about nickeling and diming its employees. We lose out on the growth of that investment. I have yet to see people having fun at this job. Lots of dour workers who skip the pleasantries (both SAIC folks and the customers)
