SAIC Machine Learning Engineer reviews

- Career development resources are inequitably distributed. Management received full degree funding while requests for a ML conference, and $50 in technical books were rejected 2 years in a row despite 2% training allocation. - Upper management doesn't have formal experience with Artificial Intelligence, making it difficult for them to provide support to their teams and to sell solutions. - Promotions appear limited to original team members from 5+ years ago. With no formal discussion on what targets needed to be met for my own. - SDLC processes aren't consistently followed, and after 2 years the internal ticketing process still hasn't been systematized - Innovation Factory projects heavily constrain technology choices to specific low-code platforms. Stifling creative and attractive solutions - The company had hired far too many people on the possibility of getting more work, leading to a lot of us sitting around for weeks at a time. - Had around 6 managers in a 2 year period - Multiple rounds of layoffs that were all kept quiet

Chaotic management Unclear strucuture Unclear upward trajectory
