Pros
While Leidos is a big company it feels like a small company. Local units have a lot of autonomy (although this is changing). When work needs to be done, no one cares about job titles or seniority. This means plenty of opportunities to interact with higher-level management inside the company and with customers. If you find an opportunity and sell management on it then you own it, both in capture and execution.
Cons
P&L centers are close to the little guy, so being in a healthy unit is much more important than the company's overall performance. Margins are thin so if you have no billable hours you have no job. You have to kill to eat, so either bring that entrepreneurism or stick yourself to someone who is trying to build something.
