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…
My day-to-day responsibilities have been slowly changing over the 6 months I have worked here, but they are constant improving, and going towards the direction I want to be in, which is very good. On the 1-to-10 scale, I would say I started at a 4, am currently at a 6, and expect to be at an 8 in the next few months.
Bi-weekly morning tea Open door policy with managers
I personally really dislike the graduate recruitment process companies use, this one was similar to most, excluding the group interview stage, which is my least favourite, but have found that can be done well, and done poorly. Graduate recruitment process I went through: - Initial application (personal details + some questions) - Online Video Interview (answer text prompt questions to a webcam) - Online Testing (general test + game like testing, only online test that was actually fun) - Final Interview (HR + Manager)
Why
? what is your proudest achievement? list a time when you have had to deal with either conflict or difficult team members, how did you handle the situation? Read the first few pages of the annual report, although it is aimed towards shareholders it contains key information on company values, key projects we are working on and generally all the things that the company wants the public to know and love.
Almost always a 38 week The day-to-day hours are very flexible.
My rates seem reasonable for a Graduate Role. I'm not sure if they have bonuses.
Casual Fridays
Communication can be lacking from managers about feedback, praise or performance if the manager is not associated with your current project.
The company does look to try and make us grow and develop. Currently supplied materials for some Microsoft training, and there are several days throughout the year dedicated to "soft" skill training. We are encouraged to undertake learning opportunities.
