Pros

Steady income with standard benefits. Co-workers still care about their job performance and the customers. Most low level supervisors care about their employees.

Cons

Benefits decrease each year with rising costs. Bonuses seem to go to the same higher income individuals each year. One raise in 5 years of less than 1%. Christmas "bonus" for lower employees is a coupon for food & are only allowed to spend it on the type of food designated. Older employees are hoping to retire and new employees are disillusioned. Upper management seems to be in a bubble and are not aware of the problems of micro-managing. Performance reviews are not reflective of actual job performance, but instead are lowered to support underlying agendas - (support future lay offs, intentionally lower raises). Very low opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Leidos has a wealth of internal professional resources available for free. The back office services are very well executed (HR, payroll, etc.). There are a large number of programs one may potentially participate in, provided you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Disconnect between senior executives and line divisions. Dead wood not cleaned out, good people get burned out. Predominantly US Government client base demands adherence to project management standards but refuses to pay for them. The business development cycle is moribund.

Pros

I'm not sure there are any!!!

Cons

1. You are an expendable micro-serf from day 1! You mean nothing and are not valued at all. It's all about the bonuses for the C-suite. 2. Top VP's, Directors, Project Managers and Senior Analysts are leaving in droves. 3. They lie to you about upcoming engagements. Engagements are getting shorter and they are paying less and less per hour. 4. Leidos Health spin off from SAIC was a half-baked acquisition which allowed Leidos to be formed in order to score the MUS funding. Brand is so diluted now that no one knows who they are in Health IT. 5. Leidos Health C-suite expects all of their directors to pull in the same revenues as their military consulting division which will never happen. 6. Leidos Health directors are as slimy as it gets when it comes to making promises that will never materialize. 7. Do not work for these clowns!
