Pros

None. I've seen some positive reviews on this site for Leidos - take these with a big grain of salt...

Cons

Below is a list of negatives that I experienced while I worked at Leidos: - Poor compensation and benefits; objectively speaking the pay and benefits Leidos offers are definitively below average - A toxic environment where dishonest co-workers will throw you under the bus any chance they can get (however, there were a few decent people where I worked) - Management is dishonest; they also insult and scream at employees - A mentorship program is in place for younger engineers but the more senior engineers didn't take it seriously and it ultimately provided no benefit whatsoever - Members of management regularly bad-mouthed clients behind their backs - An endless amount of empty promises from upper management - Where I worked, the management team was pretty incompetent And the list goes on... In summation, I would tell any professional to think very hard before taking up employment with Leidos.

Just another big company

Pros

I always felt that if something happened to my contract, Leidos would be willing and able to find another contract I could work, as long as they thought I would work hard. The company was big enough that there would always be another contract I could work on and the network at Leidos would facilitate an easy transition.

Cons

Once SAIC had its IPO and was no longer an employee owned company, the company started going to pot. Decisions are not made with respect to retention of employees, but to get the shareholders a return. The company used to have a special feel, but now that's gone. It's just another large company now, with nothing to set it apart.

Pros

You get to travel a lot if you like doing that. The salary is commensurate with the work involved but when you're in such a large company it's hard to even know who you really work for.

Cons

The medical benefits gradually got worse for the duration I worked there. I realized that this wasn't the case with other companies and their benefits remained the same as the affordable healthcare act was implemented.
