Mine field?

Pros

Decent benefits for a large company.

Cons

Was dropped into a horrible client mine field with ZERO support from PM/DPM. Incredibly abusive client and they knew it. As a result, the team turnover was constant. Pay - got a $25k increase in pay by moving to another company.

Pros

Leidos is a solid company if you’re looking for stability and a steady paycheck, especially in the government contracting space. They offer competitive benefits and a decent work-life balance, depending on the contract, and the people you work with are generally professional and supportive.

Cons

That said, like many big contracting firms, their focus is squarely on the bottom line. You’re valuable to them if you’re billable on a contract. When a contract ends or funding dries up, you might feel like another number on a spreadsheet. Career growth and internal mobility opportunities exist, but they largely depend on how your skills align with active contracts. If you’re between projects, you might be independently figuring out the next steps.

Pros

None to speak of, was happy to leave.

Cons

Micromanagement, overly pedantic about everything, no leadership, guidance, or direction - effectively milking a government contract at the expense of personnel.
