Pros

Work is the same as any other government contractor, so it’s the company that needs to set itself apart from others. Sadly, Leidos doesn’t. If you do not aspire to grow your career, and like stagnation and training on your own time, it’s a good company.

Cons

Favoritism, lack of professional development opportunities, uneven management, lack of accountability from employees and management, poor approach to work/life balance. Creates a feeling of servitude.

Pros

Time off is the only good benefit with this company. Working with direct employees is also good and most employees care about what they are doing.

Cons

The entire company lives in a culture of Monday morning quarterback. As a supervisor you are expected to make many decisions all the time. Then senior level management steps all over your decision and tells you everything you have done wrong. They never recognize employees when they do something right all you ever do is wrong in managements eyes. The entire company from David Heimbrook and Dave Bufter down care more about company rating and profits then the people who work here. Management views everyone as a number that can be replaced at anytime and you are not valued as a person. The company has done nothing to improve moral and most employees want to leave and are just waiting for retirement. there is no such thing as Job security and you can only expect to keep your Job from one month to the next depending on budget. The company has also not given out raises to employees for three years and they blame to government for every bad decision they make.

Pros

A chance to gain valuable knowledge on cancer research and testing while working in close association with scientist at the National Cancer Institute at Frederick.

Cons

As contractors we are all payed well below our government counterparts--nearly 20 to 30% below in some positions. Also, you can forget about the GS Schedule because they have their own system of ranking employees as a means of keeping salaries to a minimum. This ensures that they will continue to be awarded their government contract.
