The REAL Deal with Leidos...And it isn't pretty

Pros

There are only 2 pros left with my job 1) I get a paycheck and 2) I do work with some great people.

Cons

I have been with Leidos (formerly SAIC) for 13 years. I have written 2 reviews of SAIC over the years, but wanted to add one on the Leidos page, since they are now my employer. Over the past 2 years, both in the spin up to the split and since the split, it has become obvious that the future of Leidos is VERY bleak. There is ZERO trust and respect for the company leadership, particularly Jumper and Shea. I would expand upon the feelings towards both, but I am fairly sure it would stop this "review' from being posted. The financials are in the toilet, as the Q3 report and the nose dive the stock took illustrated. While it isn't being publicized; the company has laid off a large number of people since the split with dozens getting notices this week. They tend to spread them out across locations, so that they don't have to report to state labor departments, but when added together the numbers are substantial. It isn't easy watching people who have been with the company 20+ years be treated as disposable. I work with people in some other locations who are fairly certain Leidos is trying to close their offices all together. A lot of employees were very upset with the cut in benefits, and while it didn't affect me very much I can see where for some people it was a major issue. The health care is mediocre, the 401(k) contributions were cut, and other items that used to be company funded have now been pushed onto the employees. There isn't much positive that can be said about working for Leidos, and I would advise anyone considering it to think very hard. The environment is toxic, morale is at an all time low, the company leadership is viewed in a negative light by most employees, and the future plan offers no solutions to current problems.

Low Salaries

Pros

A chance to gain valuable knowledge on cancer research and testing while working in close association with scientist at the National Cancer Institute at Frederick.

Cons

As contractors we are all payed well below our government counterparts--nearly 20 to 30% below in some positions. Also, you can forget about the GS Schedule because they have their own system of ranking employees as a means of keeping salaries to a minimum. This ensures that they will continue to be awarded their government contract.

Managers not Leaders

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Location is downtown Tulsa. Good working level people.

Cons

Managing Director Bob Perry is a manager but definitely not a leader of people. Dictator management style even when the advise of more experienced personnel is found to be correct.
