Pros

Nice environment and great co workers. Great location.

Cons

Being forced to put idle time on training to boost time sold when things are slow. Encouraged to use hard earned PTO when there is no work. Senior management puts a lot of pressure on management to look good and its felt to the very bottom. You spend more time trying to please the managers then doing quality work. If you overcharge on a project because there was a lot of work to be done they want you to justify it. So you waste time covering you butt. This is supposed to be a career to grow not feel like you are in a hamster wheel turning out drawings.

Pros

- I really like the flexible work schedule. There are times when you will have to work late to complete a proposal or other work, but the schedule allows you to work more one day and work less the next (makes it easy to leave work early on Fridays or for long weekends without taking PTO) - I like the work environment. Everyone is kind and supportive - Strong Employee Resource Groups (Women's Network, Young Professionals Group, etc.) - Overall, great place to work!

Cons

- Not many PTO holidays given (must use PTO for Christmas Eve, NYE, etc), but fairly generous with PTO - Late night and weekend work does happen, especially if you work on proposals - Does not provide a large amount of tuition reimbursement (oly ~5,000/year) - Awful paid maternity (only 2 weeks!!!!!!!!) - this is my biggest disappointment in Leidos!

Pros

Pay is competitive. So much work to do that days go by fast!

Cons

No work life balance, you are treated as hourly personnel and not as part of any team. The benefits are limited. Management only cares about the mission and not you.

Thank you for your feedback! We value your thoughts. Typically we try to support a balance as much as we can. I would suggest you speak with your HR leader about your concerns as well, so we can try to address them for you, and hopefully achieve a better work/life balance.
