      Pros

      Leidos, as a spin off of SAIC, is a large company (20K+ employees) ... so they have more positions available than a small company.

      Cons

      - Terrible back office systems -- state taxes taken out for the wrong state, support staff points you to HR or other groups since they don't know the answers, and then you talk to 3, 4, or 5 different people to get an answer. Then they drop the ball. This has happened to me 3 times. - Managers don't have time for employees. I never met my manager until after I started and my co-workers and I saw that manager on average of less than 30 minutes a month. When we saw our manager, it was because s/he wanted something from us. - Lack of integrity. Recruiters painted a false picture. Managers reneged on significant financial promises ($5K) to a group of employees that had been delivered in writing and regularly in verbal discussions.

      Pros

      can work independently and the benefits are above standard. Salaries tend to be competitive and for the ambitious individual there are options available

      Cons

      good old boys network runs rampart - since the SAIC/LEIDOS split jobs are handed out more on who you know than through competitive interviewing. there has also been a shift in focus from the people owned philosophy to the stock holders value, since the company went public

      Pros

      Vacation time is ok. Colleagues are pretty great for low/mid level employment.

      Cons

      Leadership structure is pretty awful. Upper management, I.E. DPM's and upward are pretty discourteous. I am a pretty thick skinned guy, but I genuinely feel bad for my peers. I have never see people get treated so badly. Profanity, put downs, lack of communication, a refusal to communicate via email, thus not affording the low level leads an opportunity to get directives in writing. Constantly changing the way you want things done and acting as if the employees got the orders wrong all along. Nepotism, maybe a hint of bigotry.
