LEIDOS Review

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.

Racing to average from what once was a great company.

Pros

You get to work on projects of vital importance to our national defense. Many projects have long duration, leading to stable work during that period.

Cons

The company is now run by professional managers with quarterly profits foremost in their calculations. You need to find a boss that will look out for you (but there are many).

Pros

pay rapidly rose after being hired. reasonable training offered after a while. seemed to be a lot of opportunities after looking around worldwide.

Cons

inefficient money hungry soulless contract chasing minions. If you are at all proud of your work or like working with cutting edge technology, do not work here. It will be interesting to see what branch of the government they try to suck dry next after their defense contracts get axed.
