As a systems engineer i am tasked with implementing engineering changes to consistent faults that occur within the systems that we look after. My role is very hands on and involves fault-finding and maintenance activities to ensure the systems are functional.

I really love that the large majority of my days are spent on development, with minimal meetings each week. Although the days can become repetitive, generally the work is satisfying.

Pros and cons of working at Leidos Australia

Pros

  • Working arrangements are very flexible, I'm allowed to be autonomous in my work, and I feel that my contributions make an impact.

  • The culture is great... everyone gets along and works together well... we often do social things outside of work.

  • Extremely great at helping young starters improve their skills and gain the confidence to contribute to large projects.

  • Pretty good work-life balance, people are very understanding of personal commitments and are flexible around them.

  • You get to work on really cool projects that have a direct impact on the customer.

Cons

    • Too many meetings. Lots of jargon that is difficult to pick up initially.

    • Sometimes you can get bogged down in the paperwork and less on the ๏ฌxing/designing new things however it's the same at every job.

    • Some meetings are unnecessary.

    • There's also not as much work-from-home flexibility, and high-security requirements can also be frustrating.

    • It doesn't seem very clear [what it takes to move up the ranks.
