RESTON, Va., Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: LDOS), a national security, health and engineering solutions company, has been selected by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) as the preferred bidder to manage its defence logistic commodities and services.
Solving Mission-Critical Problems to Help Secure America
Leidos helps the U.S military, Department of Defense, and federal law enforcement respond to some of the biggest threats to our national security.
Leidos’ national security efforts span every branch of the military and support the full spectrum of military operations – from peace keeping and humanitarian missions to major conflicts. We also help the U.S. Department of Defense, the FBI, and other agencies combat terrorism, cybercrime, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Whether helping the U.S. Army enhance night vision capabilities, the Air Force train far-flung units online, or the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command enable seamless, secure multimedia connectivity, our technical expertise lets U.S. forces work safer and smarter.
Leidos also develops products and applied technologies for anti-terrorism and Homeland Security efforts – inspection systems to scan cargo for contraband, portable X-ray systems to inspect suspect packages, even software to assess the human consequences of technological and natural disasters.
Technology + Science = Improved Care and Lower Costs
At Leidos, our formula to improve healthcare is simple – fuse some of the world’s most advanced technologies with the brightest minds in science, research, and consulting.
The result? Improved patient care, and healthcare organizations that operate more efficiently.

Our mission defines our purpose as a company — the essence of why Leidos exists. This new statement is an evolution of our previous mission, reflecting our new, integrated company. It is intentionally concise so that it is easier to remember.
Our vision details who we want to become in the future. The first sentence emphasizes that we want our reputation to be that of problem solvers. The second sentence speaks to the fact that we are first and foremost a people company. The last sentence highlights three important facets that guide how we operate as a company.
Our values are the characteristics we emulate — essentially our DNA — who we are as individuals and as a collective. The list of potential values was extensive, but in the end, we identified the five that capture what it is that we value most and what makes Leidos different.
Helpful (13)
I have been working at Leidos full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Salary, especially starting salaries
Benefits
Work Environment
(Proved by VERY LOW turnover of staff as well as a general positive attitude by other companies' workers toward recruitment on bids where "capturing incumbent workers" (those already working on a project we are bidding) is required. We respect our employees, and at least in my area, make the best-faith effort possible to keep them, even when federal contracts are interrupted, (which is inevitable occasionally).
Cons
People with marginal competence don't do well within our company. We are a company of top performers.
Advice to Management
(First, I have been the public health Division Manager for 4 of the last 5 years. The new director and I are largely in accord.) My advice is to candidates: If you are serious, and you approximate world class skills, at least for your career level, you have substantial opportunities in Leidos, including excellent compensation.
Application
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Leidos.
Interview
They contacted me through email to set up an interview in July for an internship. Had a single phone interview and they contacted me 3-4 days later to tell me I got the job. Interview was all behavioral questions, very easy. Great company to work for.
