Pros

-Many of the other MFLC's are great to work with, though you will only see them at team meetings. -Seeing students/kids improve is very rewarding. -Many team leads are flexible if you need to get your kids/yourself to medical appointments. -Decent medical insurance options.

Cons

-Very sub-par pay for a licensed counselor, especially for California. -No increases due to cost of living -You may not have an office. Minimal support once you are at a K-12 support. -They are giving bonuses to new hires, but not to veteran counselors, many people are quitting. Disrespectful to the counselors that have been here for many years. -YOU WILL NOT GET PAID FOR THE SUMMER. They don't easily disclose that. Many people quit because of this.

Pros

Leidos provides opportunities to work on complex government programs with meaningful technical challenges. Depending on the contract and team, there can be exposure to cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, systems engineering, networking, and mission-focused work that is difficult to find elsewhere. The company also has a large footprint, so there may be internal opportunities for people who are able to navigate the organization.

Cons

My experience was that the quality of management varied significantly by program. Communication around expectations, roles, and priorities was often inconsistent, and decisions that affected employees were not always explained clearly or handled in a transparent way. Work-life balance also depended heavily on local management. Flexibility that existed in practice could be changed quickly, and employees were sometimes left trying to reconcile changing expectations with existing workloads and personal obligations. In my view, the company would benefit from stronger oversight of program-level management decisions, especially where employee responsibilities, workplace flexibility, and performance feedback are concerned. I also found that technical decision-making was sometimes driven more by schedule pressure than by sound engineering judgment. On complex government programs, that can create unnecessary risk and frustration for employees who are trying to do things correctly.
