Working at Leonie in Arlington, VA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Arlington, VA Area

"I have worked for Leonie since March 2014. The company had a good reputation. The issues with the company come into play with regard to the client and the company corporate leadership. The quality of the people I current work with is excellent. The quality of the incoming personnel is below standard due the company pay reductions from bidding to low on the contract renewal."

"Great place to work if you love your job and require no additional professional growth"

What do you like about working at Leonie?

"Salary, primarily. By luck of the draw, they have hired some outstanding individuals in their OCONUS positions. These men are professionally excellent, drawn from prior military (Special Forces, Marines, etc.) and have outstanding people skills. Their CONUS positions are filled mostly with technically competent people."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be smart, talk up OCONUS experience, show knowledge of the AOR."

What don't you like about working at Leonie?

"Leadership from the rear---mostly inexperienced individuals running programs about which they have little knowledge. Contractual micromanagement, coupled with an gnorance of the living and working conditions overseas, led to constant CONUS/OCONUS friction."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hire more people with true OCONUS experience for the leadership, and fewer from the ranks of the serendipitously connected."
