Great company overall
Pros
Great salary and benefits. Minimal supervision from offsite supervisor. Enough meetings to have good colleague relationships. Flexible hours, some of it remote from anywhere. Fairly casual dress for working with children.Cons
The only downside is they are kind of famous for technical problems on the company issued iPads and iPhones. However, this is a known issue and technical problems have never been held against me, or have slowed work during work hours, which are pretty flexible anyway. Some of the on-site staff are not exactly warm to this contractor position, but most are and I just steer clear of negative people. I do have a minor disability and the contractor site was not helpful accommodating me, but Leidos did try. That won’t affect most people.At Leidos, we believe that a focus on inclusion and diversity improves team performance, influences innovative business strategies and drives positive results by advancing our workforce, cultivating an inclusive workplace and advancing our reputation in the marketplace.
By cultivating an inclusive culture, we enable every employee to leverage their unique talents and high performance standards to create cohesive and collaborative teams that drive innovative solutions. Leidos values differences in thought, style, backgrounds, and opinions. The talent needed to grow our business depends on cultivating a workforce rich in diversity of thought, experience and culture.
