      Growing Dissatisfaction and Declining Confidence

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedules, trusting direct management and good office environment. I've worked with the company for over 5 years and have enjoyed the teams of which I have been a member. Working with 30-year employees has been great and has really benefited my professional outlook.

      Cons

      Since the company spin-off the company "right-sizing" measures and other changes in leadership, corporate policies, and benefits has soured the office spirit. Changing the corporate lay-off policy to provide 2 week notices (of which most will work direct contracts, with no provision for overhead for searching for jobs) has really insulted teammates losing coverage.

      I would not recommend the company, but it could be my contract that's the problem

      Pros

      Flexible schedule and that's about it.

      Cons

      Lack of organization, 1% raises, NEPOTISM that is way too obvious, horribly competitive environment, bullying....need I say more? Again, this could be my contract in particular that happens to be a disaster and has lots of unhappy and unsatisfied employees, who want to quit.

      Steady decline

      Pros

      The pay is good(but see below) . I've worked on commercial accounts rather than the typical Government contracting role that Leidos (formerly SAIC) is typically known for. I have worked for government contracts on government accounts in the past so I can see how much the company runs like a government contractor. Commercial businesses work a bit differently, though, and so sometimes Leidos is a bit slow to move compared to the accounts they support. Mostly though, they've stayed in the background which is fine by me. Much of my career satisfaction and growth has really been driven by the customers we support and my immediate management rather than by Leidos further above.

      Cons

      The erosion of benefits as others have mentioned is really a pay cut. Various changes as well as minimal performance increases despite being rated highly and working on profitable contracts. Leidos has taken a beating on some other contracts and been fined and those costs have been passed throughout the particular organization I work for. If you lose coverage on a contract you will lose employment. Leidos' business model doesn't support the notion of a "bench".
