Leidos Reviews
Reviews by Leidos graduate employees
pros
- The people around me are great. Most people are easy-going and I fit well with everyone. It's a large name organisation too, a good starting point for my career. Also lots of other types of projects and work within the company, which are great opportunities themselves.
- Everyone is always willing to teach new things; especially if you are a keen learner. The opportunities to learn from the best in the business are abundant.
- Good environment, people are friendly, and a great location.
- Variety of work and exposure to the organisations, infrastructure and systems that make our country safe and run day to day. Big company so there is lots of different work and types of projects.
- Flexible working hours. Awesome colleagues. Fun, and interesting work.
cons
- The work ebbs and flows. Sometimes the pressure to meet deadlines is very daunting and you can not always achieve it.
- Big company so it is easy to get lost or feel like you're an insignificant/unknown part. A large company also means that they can be slow to adapt to new technologies or slow to action change.
- Having no stable desk/workstation to work from due to lack of desk space in the office. Current corporate infrastructure and seating capacity has been overwhelmed since the beginning of the year, with resourcing and acquisition of new talent ramping up without the space to seat them.
- For some it is easy to move within the company, if you prove yourself valuable it is nearly impossible to move without quitting even when there is no work.
- For my particular work stream, I find it dull and not challenging/engaging. It's hard to generate passion for service delivery.
What insiders say about…
Reading/responding to emails. Liaising with security, the team and sometimes the customer to help sustain/extend the current environment. Mostly writing or reviewing documentation about designs. Daily 'agile' meetings. Effectively being an admin for various software applications, managing users and dealing with issues.
In the office the culture is alright, too many people in my workplace are much older than me though. There is a very small crew who is younger and willing to go for mid-day runs and gym sessions. After hours, there is very little culture. The only culture is being driven by the younger crowd and even then, they all are reluctant to do much.
An online assessment (cognitive testing) was presented to shortlisted applicants after submitting a CV. A recorded video interview followed that, and a phone interview after that.
What is my greatest strength / weakness, Why the company? Why me?
Be self-aware, be flexible, and know yourself. Align your strengths with that of the company you seek to join, and accept your weaknesses if you want to address them and excel forward.
They prefer you remain consistent, but there are no issues if you need to come in late/leave early for whatever reason.
No bonuses. Graduate salary is better than other graduate programs.
Managers are fairly accessible, and team leads are available most of the time which is great. Management provide an average level or mentorship, but mentors were assigned to us outside our teams. I've taken initiative to get an "unofficial" mentor which has been working well.
Leidos offers good opportunities for training, such as a free Scrum Master Certification.
