Pros

Good sized iIndividual cubes for workspaces (with doors). Ability to telework when needed/desired up to 2-3 days a week. Good co-workers who care about the work they are doing. CEO (Roger Krone) who seems to be trying to turn company around and regain employee loyalty, but willing to admit that times are tough right now.

Cons

Constant reorganizations as company struggles to be more competitive. Loss of personnel due to down-sizing, layoffs, and people going elsewhere seeking more stability. Lack of new work/contracts makes it difficult to maintain coverage. Focus seems to be on pursuing big contracts and ignoring the many small contracts that used to keep a lot of people employed.

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.
