      Pros

      Competitive pay salary. Can jump around to other jobs if the contract runs out. Job security. If you get a Security clearance, it will last at least 5 years, allowing you to apply for other government based jobs.

      Cons

      Your job is usually tied to a contract. Layoffs all the time. Working for the government is slow and they supply you with outdated used equipment. Because of Security clearances, you cannot take your proof of work with you or showcase your artwork to your public portfolio, even if you're an artist, like a graphic designer or 3D artist. Having a "Black hole" on your resume is a huge con, because new employers will want to see your work.

      Pros

      Work life balance/flexibility is pretty great at Leidos.

      Cons

      There are no promotion cycles. You just have to talk to your manager and hope they fight for you when you think it is time to be promoted. Leidos also does not do very good yearly raises. They only give their best engineers 5% raises....

      Pros

      Not a single positive if you’re on a contract.

      Cons

      No sick leave, insurance is horrible, and pay is well below market value. Remote status with hire but was changed even with client fully remote. If you don’t have an immediate project (no built in overhead for slow times) you’re forced to take PTO or unpaid time off. Middle management’s only focus is to exploit employees—Jr/Mid level are constantly being given Sr/Management level tasks but they won’t hire at the needed level. Turnover is at an all time high (even if they won’t admit it). Insanely unstable teams and no communication or process planning by upper and middle management. No promotions, even after 3 years. Abysmal annual % raises.
