      It was a Weird Experience

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It could have been an interesting transition.

      Cons

      I was with SAIC for nearly 29 years when my project went to Leidos as part of the "gentleman's agreement" that split the company. As far as I was concerned the split was handled very poorly with very little communication about what it meant. The upshot was that if I had remained with Leidos I would have kept my service time, but what was not told was that if a Leidos employee went back to SAIC that they would lose it; those who were with SAIC, however, and moved to Leidos would keep theirs. Anyway, my project imploded and I was forced to find new work. Given that there was a partial government shutdown, a corporate HR that was being stood up, it was just a mess. I went back to SAIC after 2.5 weeks as a Leidos employee and guess what: I lost my service time (which meant that nearly 30 years of service DID NOT COUNT for anything and I had to start all over again as a BRAND NEW employee!!!

      money wins over experience

      Associate scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They used to be a very flexible - but with new reorganization(s) the fear of losing employment is real, fear of how things will be run is real. Not sure there are any real positives with this company anymore.

      Cons

      They have become very 'corporate' in management (ie very top heavy) and have lost the scientific verve that it once (as SAIC under other management) used to have. Management does not seem to understand that this is a contract to NCI and in the end pleasing the NCI is what counts.

      A good place to start a career

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Note that Leidos offices are quite federated. So experiences are heavily dependent on location. This review is for the Bethesda office doing physics-based work. Despite the cons, it's a good place to use as a stepping stone since you have exposure to a lot of different technologies. * The work is very interesting from a mathematical standpoint * The tech stack is modern, especially by DoD standards * Some teams are well-run with clear communication on deliveries to our DoD customer. Coworkers were generally very nice, interested in their work, and personable. * Upper management is nice and professional * It's refreshing to interact with the analysts at customer sites. They're professional, personable, and often come from different backgrounds. * The office is very accommodating and understanding of those who come from diverse backgrounds, in both the racial and social sense

      Cons

      * High turnover causes work to be shifted onto already stressed and overworked middle managers. If I recall correctly, in our office of around 30, ~5 people left within the span of a year. * Middle managers on certain teams can be toxic. I was, however, personally warned of these individuals by my coworkers when I joined * Code quality is below-average. One bug in a deliverable was a simple producer-consumer problem. * Career progression is unclear. Some teams didn't communicate their development plans and key deliverables, so one couldn't be proactive in choosing work to further the bottom-line. * The salary and benefits (insurance) are pretty terrible, and below market. I got a 20% pay bump by jumping ship. Other DoD contractors gave me similar salary estimates when interviewing.
