Pros
The small team I work with is very talented; not a lot of micromanagement, 100% remote, my direct manager is great and open to communication, sometimes the work is really interesting and I feel proud to be doing what I'm doing, I'm well-trusted
Cons
Work/ life balance is awful, we're losing people at a very fast pace because there's no incentive to stay, work is getting piled on the remaining team because Leidos cannot say "no" to more contacts (i.e., they care more about the money than keeping their employees happy), management and team leads have taken a terrible turn for the worst over the past year, there's an unbelievable unbalance of work divided between team members, I feel like I'm doing the work of three people while others are out at a salon during the day, all of the projects lately have super tight turn around and are gigantic meaning we've had to work holidays and overtime without getting compensated for it, overtime is typically not acceptable even though we're working late hours, the benefits are awful, there's not a lot of communication between management so no one ever really knows how many projects you're working on at a time, I've been here 7 years and have never once received a "real" raise only a 2% increase in pay yearly for merit, I'm supposed to be a programmer and e-learning developer however because of the shortage of people I'm pulled in every direction writing storyboards, cdgs, setting up meetings with clients, it's definitely not in my job description, no appreciation, had to use PTO during government shutdowns and during illness with covid
