LEIDOS Review

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Formally SAIC so well - connected to DoD customers - due to long history of SAIC contracts with DoD. If contract expires good chance you can be assigned to another new or existing contract.

Cons

After the split into LEIDOS (old SAIC) and SAIC (new SAIC), Leidos has been cutting costs, benefits, and feels free to lay off experienced and well-qualified employees. Leidos appears to be more concerned with short-term profitability than with long-term investment in its work force. Even in the lay off process, the lack of support to departing employees who might be needed for future work has generated in them a reluctance to return if offered a new position.

In a state of flux

Pros

A new CEO just came on board this week who will, hopefully, turn around the company after 2 years of upheaval. The company was founded on entrepreneurial principles and grew by acquisition of mainly small companies, so there is a strong foundation of very smart people dedicated to doing good work

Cons

The company culture has been stripped bare. Training is rare and on your own time unless there's a direct offset for a particular contract. There is virtually no career path except for a select group of high potential individuals.Compensation is OK. Benefits were slashed in the SAIC/Leidos split. Between the split and significant reduction in government spending, there is a lot of uncertainty about job security -- no bench, so it's 2 weeks & you're gone no matter if you've been there 6 months or 24 years.
