Pros

Pay but it was deserved considering credentials. Was able to perform at highest level on this contract but that didn't matter. Still got screwed.

Cons

There is little to no protection for contractor/employee no matter what the company says. You can be the most productive/liked contractor and still get screwed. Never hear both sides of the story and hang onto less competent personnel (pay is less for them).

Pros

Excellent technical staff. If you work here, you will for the most part find yourself working with truly motivated, intelligent, capable folks, many of which you will end up calling your friends. That goes for an abundance of the support staff as well. In the current economy I would pursue a job (not a career) at Leidos with the enthusiasm of someone jumping from an overpass onto the last train leaving the gulf states in the advance of Hurricane Katrina.

Cons

After an IPO, and self-imposed corporate suicide, dividing SAIC into two companies: newSAIC and Leidos Corp., it appears Leidos has sold it's sole to it's shareholders, sacrificing staff in the process. The company is going through a major downgrade; divesting itself of long time acquired real estate in favor of massive cube farms, outsourcing of all corporate functions, drastic cutting of employee benefits (while inflating Director's benefits) including healthcare and incentives, continuous reorganizations across a national landscape (I never even met my last several Division Managers - none even located in my state), etc., all to show profitability to the shareholders. The company is losing technical, and support staff faster than a children's party clown with Tourette Syndrome (yes, borrowed from D. Miller) - that is, those surviving the rounds of layoffs that reappear on the horizon on a tidal frequency. There seems to be a bit of a bunker mentality emerging among the middle management folks.

Pros

Great hours, smart people, broad breadth of projects and technical problems to work on, projects typically last 6-18 months and then you get to work on something completely new and different, no set product cycle to follow

Cons

Salary is on the low end and no bonuses, requires a TS clearance to work on most projects, no clear path for upward mobility and career development
