No longer a worthy company to work

Pros

It's a job I suppose. Since SAIC split into two companies, Leidos has not been the same company. Anything that was good about SAIC is no longer a certainty with Leidos as senior management continually reduces benefits and bonuses. By their actions, employees are not valued. That isn't a good thing for a consulting company that only has what its employees can do to sell to a client.

Cons

Where do I begin? Trying to stay factual and non-emotional, this company has unilaterally reduced PTO accrual, health care benefits, capped pay raises, slashed or eliminated bonus pools, cut a large number of employees to raise capital while at the same time, paying lavishly to sponsor the corporate area's professional soccer team and thrown employee and family events there when the vast majority of the company's employees can't benefit from that perk. Seriously, morale has plummeted. many very high-quality performers are looking to jump ship when they can find a safe landing place. Al that will be left is low paid, mediocre performers.

Great Career-Starter for the Engineer

Pros

Co-workers are very professional as there is zero tolerance for anything less. This is great place to learn how to do your job well as the pace of work is slow compared to corporate america. I learned more from my coworkers in one year than in 5 years at other companies. Anyone average or slightly below exits the company in less than a year due to management's creative ways to ensure a certain level of performance. This means you almost NEVER have to worry about incompetence. Its truly a unique work environment.

Cons

There is almost no upward mobility and a lack of recognition for individual performance other than you get to continue working there. Managers are working managers with minimal time to do anything other than their own job. There is no career development. Goal setting is 'go-through-the-motions'. Groups operate in information silos with little incentive to integrate such that there is a lot of redundancy. Management's take on turn-over is people come and go. Even if you are the best ever, don't expect anyone to care when you leave.
