Leidos Chicago

I am considering working as an engineer for a company called Leidos in Chicago. I’ve heard fairly positive reviews about them. I’ve worked at two owners and one consulting firm so I know the grass is greener until it turns dry. Just wondering what I could ask during the phone interview to decide if I should move forward.

Why do they like the company/what has kept them there

Ask questions about their mission and values and see if the interviewer knows them to determine if the company truly reinforces those or if they’re just words on paper. Ask them 3 things they like least about the organization - it forces them to think and typically not a canned response but will give you insights. Ask about the qualities they look for in their engineers and how to they evaluate talent. Interviews are just as much them selling you and it is you selling yourself. Good luck!

I work for a company that has contracted with leidos for security screening. They are SLOW. I would think it would be frustrating working for at company that seems to get nothing done. At least for their clients...
