Pros

- Ability to work from home (unless working at client site) - 401k match 5% - bi-weekly pay - 3 extra floating holidays on top of PTO & Holidays

Cons

- Progression is slow - Salary is below market value (Excuse is "We're Defense so pay is lower") - Leadership Cult - CEO says company is all about diversity and inclusion but when you ask for a career growth you get shut down - Teams can be unorganized - Managers need better training, some are good task managers but not people managers and vice versa - HR will not assist you if you try to seek help

Pros

- Remote work for some projects

Cons

The covid response is ridiculous. When covid first hit, Leidos had a stance of "it won't happen to us" they forced people to burn through all of their PTO for covid, then got rid of people once they hit a balance of 0, they got rid of them. The CEO makes weekly videos of how to "stay safe in a world of covid" from his mansion saying "life is hard" My team was shutdown due to Covid and I got shuffled into a random gov contract that isn't relevant to my experience. Management schedules meetings, and than doesn't show up to them. I have no idea how this company stays in business. Nothing is logical. They promote people into jobs they are vastly not qualified to do, than provide no training for these management folks. The security practices are "everything is bad, lets block everything" instead of educating your staff. You can't do local development because you can't even install software IDEs to code in. I haven't heard from MY management in over 12 months, they don't respond to phone calls, emails, Skype messages...

Pros

Free coffee in the break room

Cons

Poor management Poor benefits Management was warned by gov customer of problems, but did not address them. Workers tried to improve quality on their own, but management trying to keep costs down resisted. When they lost the recompete, the workers were given two weeks notice and the managers were kept on.
