Pros
It’s a job, if you’re desperate enough.
Cons
Lousy, expensive benefits w/ a $3000 deductible. You accrue time off, but can never use it. As a Field Svc Engineer, you’re expected to be on call literally 24/7, 365 except for scheduled vacations, where a coworker does your work. When the coworker goes on vacation, you have to do his work. In December Leidos informed FSE’s that they’re taking away company cars. This represents a huge pay cut since employees will need to spend > $30k on a new vehicle to drive for work **if** they can find one. In addition, they decided to reduce mileage reimbursements for employees. You accrue vacation, but can never use it since you’re always on call & never have backup. This is an extremely high stress, high burnout job. Leidos recently acquired an unprofitable business line from L3. Since they’re losing money on the newly acquired line of business, they’re chiseling the employees with tiny merit increases, zero bonuses, benefit cost increases & taking away company cars.
