No longer a worthy company to work

Pros

It's a job I suppose. Since SAIC split into two companies, Leidos has not been the same company. Anything that was good about SAIC is no longer a certainty with Leidos as senior management continually reduces benefits and bonuses. By their actions, employees are not valued. That isn't a good thing for a consulting company that only has what its employees can do to sell to a client.

Cons

Where do I begin? Trying to stay factual and non-emotional, this company has unilaterally reduced PTO accrual, health care benefits, capped pay raises, slashed or eliminated bonus pools, cut a large number of employees to raise capital while at the same time, paying lavishly to sponsor the corporate area's professional soccer team and thrown employee and family events there when the vast majority of the company's employees can't benefit from that perk. Seriously, morale has plummeted. many very high-quality performers are looking to jump ship when they can find a safe landing place. Al that will be left is low paid, mediocre performers.

Pros

Leidos is going through a lot of change as it recreates itself after the split of SAIC. There is a tremendous amount of opportunity at Leidos if you're the type of person that can handle challenges and is not thrown off by change. The changes being made, though rough if they affect you or those you care for, are necessary for Leidos to compete in a very tough market. The company has some new and emerging leaders who know their stuff and who will succeed in making Leidos a very good company that continues to provide quality support to their customers while, at the same time, doing great things for our country. The folks who help craft the new Leidos are going to be part of a great end product company.

Cons

If you have trouble dealing with change or just can't afford to deal in an environment of uncertainty, this may not be the best company for you if you're not direct charge. The benefits and work-life balance are the same as other contractors.
