Pros

Salary is competitive, bonus program a big motivator.

Cons

Since being absorbed by SAIC/Leidos the management has lost touch with those that do their best to perform above the client's expectations. Reviews should be performed annually, but it seems unlikely any of the remaining management knows enough about the people to effectively conduct a fair assessment of merit.

Pros

Pay, opportunities for free education.

Cons

Dwindling benefits. Senior management makes strategic and financial decisions that make them seem out of touch with the Market of a subsidiary they purchased.

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO gives a ray of hope since company has had CEO turnovers the last 3-4 years even before the split with SAIC; Lots of hard working people still there; Leidos has two large pieces to its pie: one side going like gang busters or at least appears or is reported that way; in recent weeks (Nov 2014) some stock price recovery has occurred.

Cons

Same ol' BoD still there; other half of the company or part of that other half might be ailing as reported in recent weeks; employee benefits have eroded for quite some time; heard more layoffs with indirect employees just occurred; don't expect much for loyalty not to mention hard work; missing quarterly targets have hurt the stock price; How many times can a company change/lower its targets and still miss?
