The worst healthcare benefits you will ever have
Pros
- Plenty of interesting work being done throughout the company. - Some very competent and hard-working technical personnel.
Cons
- Leidos' gutted its (already meager) healthcare benefits in 2013. Some of my prescriptions cost hundreds of dollars to refill a month. My pharmacists couldn't believe how much I was paying for some medications. The company's lack of communication throughout this transition was completely abhorrent. They refused to have any meetings to discuss the sweeping changes. - I watched half of our 150 person organization get laid off without receiving any severance package whatsoever. I survived the layoffs, but decided I did not want to work for a company that would treat its employees like this. Luckily I don't anymore. - Lack of any significant career advancement opportunities if you work at one of the facilities that aren't in VA or San Diego. - Leidos gave our team $35 gift cards for our 3 year anniversary with the company, which we were required to pay taxes on. Who was the person who decided against rounding up to $50? - Leidos' senior management were complicit in defrauding the city of New York $500 million in 2011. Where did they get the money to pay the city back? They withheld bonuses for front-line staff, of course.
