Featured Interview

Anonymous Employee in Tucson, AZ
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos (Tucson, AZ) in May 2022
Applied on indeed. Had a phone screening first to talk about my interests. Then got called into an interview on site. I was interviewed by a Technical manager and four other Engineering Leads. Interview lasted about an hour of everyone going around asking me questions, me asking questions, and coding white board problems.
- Tell me about yourself. Tell me about this project on your resume. Why do you want to work here. Do you have experience with this <framework>. For loop white board questions. Modulus questions.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Canberra
I applied online. I interviewed at Leidos (Canberra)
The interview was straight forward for this level. The interviewers questions and had problem scenarios where solutions were recommended by the interviewee. Interview questions also included some riddles/problem solving questions. After completing the interview, I had absolutely no response from Leidos for either a rejection or acceptance. They ghosted me. I see this as majorly disrespectful and wasting of my time.
- How would you implement a surveillance system in Cairns to survey the Great Barrier Reef.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Alexandria, VA
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Leidos (Alexandria, VA) in Mar 2023
Initial conversation with the project manager, then on site interview with the team. Took about four business days to receive an offer. Recruiter slow to respond. Ended up declining due to low pay.
- Questions about different testing methods, resume experience

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Leidos
Everyone was friendly. I had two interviews after the screener. The questions got harder throughout the interview process but were based on the job description I was applying for and my experience and resume.
- Why are you considering this position?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Leidos
Questions really weren’t pertinent to role. It seemed that they really weren’t looking for experience. Overall, the panel was friendly. The written job description didn’t match what was discussed with the panel.
- What is your experience with testing.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Leidos
Very kind recruiter and great interview process overall. Took about 2 weeks to hear back. I would have accepted the offer since the work seemed interesting, but the pay seemed a little low for the location.
- Be able to discus the things listed on your resume, OOP, and the foundations of languages you claim to know well and/or listed on the job description. Expect some easy difficulty LeetCode questions like fibonacci, palindromes, etc. Nothing too crazy.

- What coding languages can you use?
