Leidos reviews

Extremely poor communication from management to staff. In most cases this was due to senior management not communicating with middle management. Leidos makes no effort to understand its people and their capabilities as an organisation. It operates as a collection of miniempires with management changing regularly. Treats staff as commodities to be hired and fired as required. It wasn't unusual for staff to be told they'd be redeployed to another part of the country for 2 years, without any consultation. A person's value is measured by their role rather than their achievements or ability. PDP is used as a tool to measure whether an individual continues to fit the role rather than furthering that person's development. Top down hierarchy. Everything comes down from above, nothing ever goes up. Tries to apply US employment practices in the UK. Seems to be completely ignorant of EU employment laws.

Management are a boys club with links back into the Defence Industry which appears solely what they rely on to access opportunities and more taxpayer money. Everything goes downhill from there. Dinosaurs everywhere - people who are remunerated well but have not upgraded skills from decades earlier. No culture of team If you have a different opinion from the party line, you will be ostracised and it will be a slow and painful death. Leads promoted above their level of competence with no regard for real world experience and no understanding of what is happening in the real world. I can honestly say that I have met some of the most unintelligent people in my working life in this company.
