Leidos reviews

The company is under a lot of pressure from the top to keep our billable hours high and costs low. I get it. That's how they make money. However, it means that the annual trips/conventions have completely ceased. My billable time and PTO is constantly under scrutiny. The joy of working is completely gone because I spend so much of my time trying to decipher and comply with company policies that are always changing. I liked the idea of working for Vitalize (one of the companies that existed before the merger/spinoff) because it was "smaller." Everyone knew everyone and if you needed help with anything, you knew who to call. Now, you e-mail a pool of people. I rarely get responses to my questions and when I have issues I have to send 2, 3, sometimes 4 emails to the pool to get a simple "Sue, can you look into this for Bob?" Not even an answer. With all the pressure coming from the top that our billable hours need to be higher, I feel like the company must be in trouble. The merger didn't fair well and I think the small firms that are able to keep their employees happy will start surpassing Leidos (and in some cases, already have).

Flamingly incompetent management, with the complete lack of ability to tell the gifted from the clueless. Corporate management that sees engineers a cost and not an asset. No corporate knowledge of who we are and what we do.
