Pros

It's a stable job, very flexible with your schedule( you can take a day of as long as you meet the 40 hrs of the week). It has a professional Corporate environment and paid tuition up to 5500 a year.

Cons

The business plan of the company is to hire entry level engineers over experienced engineers in order to charge the customer the engineer rate and at the same time keep its costs down. Because of this , raises are very low, we are replaceable so management does not encourage growth. The managers don't have management experience and there's no sense of seniority or mentorship. Company pays very low compared to other companies similar to Leidos. However it is a good company to get entry level experience and go find something else after 2-5 years. I wouldn't recommend it to stay if you want to make a career out of it. Low level management discourages any sort of contact with higher management. Power distribution and transmission is very boring and can get very monotonous. Management doesn't share information about possible bonuses, instead they keep it to themselves so that management gets a higher %.

Pros

This might be a good place to work if you only want to take a paycheck home without thinking too much about future career development. If you are old and waiting for your retirement, why not?!

Cons

The pay scale is just slightly better than university level, and far lower than industrial level, and also significantly lower than government level. This could be a killing place if you have passion on science and have goal with your career. You basically have no chance to do any creative staff. Most technicians do what they ask to do. They cannot tell your clearly what, why, how to do the research. They seem just finish procedure and do not care about the results. Indeed, the high level people do not care about the results much either. They can fairly survive by showing "We are busy in doing something." Full of politics and office rumors. Creative scientists have no much room to survive. Bad!!

Pros

I have had opportunities for professional growth and work on a variety of projects. My co-workers have generally displayed commitment to producing quality technical work.

Cons

Since the company became public in 2006 and the SAIC/Leidos split in 2013, it seems that stockholders are of greater importance than the employees. Benefits have decreased. My local office has been hindered in marketing to find new work by recent corporate policies. As a result, new projects and clients have not been pursued to replace projects that have ended. The past two years have seen layoffs and departures of talented staff.
