Leidos Reviews

Pros

Great salary and benefits. Minimal supervision from offsite supervisor. Enough meetings to have good colleague relationships. Flexible hours, some of it remote from anywhere. Fairly casual dress for working with children.

Cons

The only downside is they are kind of famous for technical problems on the company issued iPads and iPhones. However, this is a known issue and technical problems have never been held against me, or have slowed work during work hours, which are pretty flexible anyway. Some of the on-site staff are not exactly warm to this contractor position, but most are and I just steer clear of negative people. I do have a minor disability and the contractor site was not helpful accommodating me, but Leidos did try. That won’t affect most people.

Pros

1. Working culture is good 2. Employee facilities are good 3. Sat-Sun off

Cons

Work flow is moderate IT person is not available in India office

Pros

Hybrid work environment; get to go out in the field to survey jobsites which helps break up office work lulls. Immediate exposure to cutting edge industry design principles and rich experience environments (Storm recovery work and large complex projects). Willing to train entry-level hires to a good degree of competency.

Cons

Utility work can be on and off at times; managing billable hours while learning entry level engineering is tough to juggle especially when there are crunch periods and slow periods. At the time, remote work was a detriment to the learning process, although the flexibility and trust from management was solid.

Pros

I cannot think of any.

Cons

Raises are not adequate for the level of performance. Receive a superior review but only receive a 2% race. Also do not offer enough PTO if they would provide sickleave instead of combining it with PTO it would be adequate.

Pros

You have a job and can afford food. Have good educational benefits. Only for university or other higher education though.

Cons

Rarely if any ladder climbing. There's a huge divide between corporate and the workforce. The workforce are just numbers. Minimum pay raises that don't keep up with inflation. Corporate blows money on. I've never known any of my peers to get a performance or any other type of bonus. But of course corporate people get all types of bonuses and blow money on expensive parties for themselves. So yeah typical corporate company. And and for the size of this company the healthcare is expensive. $1500 - $4000 deductibles. Thats the best to lowest plan.

Pros

Big-company vibes. The tech support is good and once you get your sea legs on their many and fluid systems and processes, they pretty much let you work on your own. Perhaps because they know that when they hired you, you were already expert-level.

Cons

They don't make good on their word. Onboarding email says I was being hired on a full-time basis, but after three months, my hours were cut in half along with some part-timers (in fairness, there was the pandemic), and freelancers' hours were cut some more a year later. I guess they were burning their funds faster than they had anticipated. Also, they can dump you like a hot potato with barely three days' notice.

Pros

Benefits Culture Career growth Upskilling

Cons

If you are a contractor it is likely that you will not be working on a Leidos job site. With that, you do feel a bit excluded from company events and other activities or meetings that arise.

Pros

A variety of contract opportunities, you can try pretty much anything.

Cons

Very little support on contract switching/moving, it takes forever to get anywhere new.
