Leidos

"Leidos was recently awarded (2023) among others, the Best Employers for Women by Forbes, Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes, and World's Most Ethical Companies! "

"Be confident in your skills and don't be afraid to speak up. There are strong personalities here but if you speak up, you will be heard."

"Relationships are the currency of the realm here. You will have to work very hard to build relationships with leaders people who can help you advance your career. Without a champion, you will languish here."

"Nothing further to share at this time. Like any another large company, establishing a network is important to help navigate challenges and to learn more about opportunities."

"The company I was hired with got bought out by these people. They treated us like replaceable widgets, which initially was - well at least the pay is good. Then they restructured the payment so we got a lot less money. I do not understand how they continue to function they treat everyone so poorly."

"Truly a great place to work, and the caliber of people you get to work with is unmatched. "

"Leidos is a great place to work with an Executive Leadership Team that looks to making things more equitable and the life-work balance structure more palatable every time. The company's core values inspire many people to be not only better workers for their company but better people in general."

"The line between genders is largely absent; more so than in any other company I've worked for, especially those supporting government contracts. My work, performance, and evaluations have been based on my contributions without factoring in gender or other diversity categories."

"My role offers a wide variety of opportunities. The diversity of projects and work is challenging and fulfilling. There is a work life balance and flexibility in hours. Leidos has strong leadership with a clear and developed organizational structure. The company has an innovative environment – we are steps ahead in technology. The culture shows an investment in employees and focus on upward mobility. "

"Absolutely. I am a product of legacy SAIC/Leidos and true living example of opportunity growth due to capability. Leidos is rich with smart caring teammembers who mostly want to do the right thing and achieve a common goal. I am a 23 year employee and have publications about my career written by Linked In."

"The company is working very thoughtfully and purposely through how to make diversity and inclusion as much a part of our culture as ethics. For me, you can't call yourself ethical and not have the diversity and inclusion. It is a package deal. There are pockets of the old white guys club that still exist, but the effort to neutralize and remove that culture is strong. You will be treated fairly and may have to defend yourself from time to time, and if you perform you will be acknowledged and rewarded!"

"It is a great place to work with engaging teams and a culture which embraces inclusion as a value of the organization. "

"People talk about family life a lot - it is not a taboo topic. I don't feel awkward when I have to bring up a priority that surrounds my family - it is appreciated and respected. "

"Corporate structure supports women overall, but the culture in different divisions varies dramatically. Try to get involved in organizations outside your team for widespread connections, especially if are stuck or frustrated where you are. There are a lot of opportunities and overall it's a great company."

"You control your destiny at Leidos. They don't go above and beyond."

"Leidos is a good company. Working with contracts make benefits a little tricky, as far as maternity leave and sick time goes, but i still believe Leidos cares about its employees."

"It truly depends upon the contract you're working for. If you're with corporate, it sounds wonderful. I'm with a military contract, and they have the old military mindset that women are good but men are better. So just be careful, or make sure you're ready to fight to climb the ladder."

"Haven’t needed maternity leave so not sure but many female coworkers have no problem working in caring for children and working around work to do what’s needed "

"Depends on the contract. The company is fine but some contracts are in hostile workplaces."
