Business Outlook

Pros

Government contract work typically gives you the opportunity to work on various DoD projects that expand your skill set. As a statistician, I have been exposed to projects where I have used various statistical methods, wrote up my research in technical reports and journal manuscripts, and presented the research at professional conferences. Leidos also supports training and provides tuition reimbursement for employees pursuing higher education.

Cons

Health insurance premiums are quite high.

Pros

Leidos is committed to integrity in all things and going beyond what is normally expected in delivery to the customer. Pay is good, opportunity abounds and really great people make the difference.

Cons

Getting trained in new technologies has been an issue but I believe it may not be the same in other divisions within the company.
