Leidos reviews

Even though Leidos has money to blow, you feel limited only by what your direct team does as far as reaping the rewards of the company as a whole if your sector isn’t as profitable. I felt like the bottom line mattered more than my needs. The shareholder’s gains felt more important than ensuring I was taken care of. Also the stress of billable hours was not something I ever thought was a thing. God forbid somebody chat with you about non-work related things for 30 minutes, and now you have to either lie and charge that time to a project, or stay at work 30 minutes later. Also, the benefits seemed to slowly get taken away the time I was there. There was an employee suggestion box that we got to “vote” on that was always featured on the front page of the intranet (Prism) and then that was shoved away into a hard to find place once enough people brought up real issues that couldn’t be fixed, as it would cost the shareholders money. Higher ups would respond if there were enough votes, then they took the voting function away. That was probably one of the most demoralizing things.

Chaos. Poor management. Chasing shiny objects constantly causes such context switching and thrash that we were never able to actualize any plans. Utterly toxic workplace making people feel completely unempowered.
