Pros

There are many, many different programs to work on in many different disciplines. It makes it easy to look internally for other opportunities.

Cons

Depending on the program, the team structures can be heavy with middle management that lakes direction for the technically trained staff.

Pros

Salary, especially starting salaries Benefits Work Environment (Proved by VERY LOW turnover of staff as well as a general positive attitude by other companies' workers toward recruitment on bids where "capturing incumbent workers" (those already working on a project we are bidding) is required. We respect our employees, and at least in my area, make the best-faith effort possible to keep them, even when federal contracts are interrupted, (which is inevitable occasionally).

Cons

People with marginal competence don't do well within our company. We are a company of top performers.

Pros

Work from home all the time.

Cons

They are only focused on numbers and don't account for issues that arise in designs or difficulties. It doesn't matter what happened, you better get your numbers which usually will take 60 hours to get. They micromanage. You have no personal life at all because you are always working to keep them happy. You will never meet their goals in 40 hours unless things magically fall into place. They always accuse all staff of stealing time from them. They also may hire you hourly but they change you to salary without even telling you, so all those extra hours to meet goals you aren't getting paid for. It's awful and if you aren't going to starve to death than I wouldn't even take their call. All employees are unhappy and have poor morale (we talked about it daily). Don't loose your personal life. I am at another job doing the same work for the same client now and it's night and day difference. The company I went to after Leidos actually verified my concerns that Leidos works you to death. There's other engineering jobs so take those and steer clear of hell.
