Great work, great co-workers and great sense of team
Contractor (Current Employee) - Colorado - June 5, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI really like working for Lukos. Many of the employees are former military and we have shared values, experiences and work ethic. The work is rewarding and the compensation and benefits package is excellent for this type and level of work. Working for the government can be a little frustrating at times, but we work through that as a team and get the job done.
Pros
Good location, great co-workers, engaging work
Cons
Infrequent communications from leadership to the company and individual work sites.

Fun place to work, but not consistent.
Defense Consultant to US Marine Special Operations (Current Employee) - Shelby, MS - March 19, 2020
Work is fun, but not consistent. Often times a job will go to another individual as requirements may change. Last minute cancellations and changing requirements lead to uncertainty at times.

Executive Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Wright-Patterson AFB, OH - April 14, 2019
The company is great to work for. I am a contractor on at WPAFB. They have competitive wages and are very flexible. They communicate well with us and have paid us on bad weather days when the base was closed.

Not Bad
Defense Attaché Subject Matter Expert; Role Player (Current Employee) - Gulfport, MS - April 3, 2019
Was a 14 days temporary assignment. Will be able to make a better assessment once on a full time duty. From what I can see so far it is not a bad place to work.
Pros
Opportunity to do something meaningful
Cons
Temporary

Lukos is a superb organization. Their second to none leadership enable the employees to excel. The company benefits are hard to replicate by other similar companies. Simply put the best small business defense company in the Region.

Helpful Management
Biomedical Laboratory Technician II (Current Employee) - Dayton, OH - February 15, 2018
In my time with Lukos I have found management to be communicative and helpful. My coworkers are friendly and I have enjoyed working with them. The only fly in the ointment is that these are contract positions that may end without warning.

Best contracting company to work for at USAFSAM Wright-Patterson AFB
Public Health Specialist (Current Employee) - Dayton, OH - January 4, 2018
Lukos strives to make each and every employee happy and help them advance their career. They offer a great retirement and health care package. Enough though their headquarters is located in Tampa FL, they are extremely responsive.

It's Fine
Biomedical Laboratory Technician II (Current Employee) - Dayton, OH - December 8, 2017
How well working for a contract company goes just depends on who you work with that isn't the company. I don't take the health insurance offered, but for some people it is a problem to have United Health Care when their doctors are in the Premier Health Network. The company seems to go through "managers" frequently though as a contractor you don't interact with them much anyways.
Pros
They have disability insurance
Cons
not the best managment

Lukos is a great company!
Principal Acq Specialist (Current Employee) - Tampa FL - August 24, 2015
The previous review about SRA, should be aimed at SRA not Lukos. Lukos welcomed me into their company and treated me with respect and have allowed me to continue to support the warfighter. Great company with a fantastic management team. They gave me the freedom to support the government's mission without a lot of mandatory training or interference. Compensation and benefits are very competitive. I am a current employee and would continue to work for Lukos, but contracts do get recompeted, sorry to say. Great company, great atmosphere. The BEST!
Pros
Freedom to do your job as you see fit, Free Lunches and bonuses for recognition.
Cons
None.

Jobs at Lukos
Exceptionally supportive management
Database Manager (Current Employee) - MacDill AFB - August 24, 2015
Work site is on MacDill AFB, so am not working side-by-side with the front office. However, wage and benefits package were all that I had hoped. Management stays abreast of what is happening on site, does not micro-manage, and quickly supports staff on emerging requirements/issues.
Pros
Direct relationship with company leadership
Cons
Can't think of any

Excellent job culture, great benefits and work/life balance.
employee (Current Employee) - FL - August 24, 2015
Lukos is a small company that provides a professional atmosphere with opportunities for growth and advancement in your career. Both the President and CEO of Lukos are excellent managers and will always take time out of their busy schedules to discuss any items of concern. The benefits are great and the work/life balance is excellent.

Lukos Government Support
Senior Acquisition Analyst (Current Employee) - USSOCOM Tampa Florida - August 24, 2015
Lukos impressed me with a very family like culture and simple no non sense approach to government contracting. Obviously a small company that operates with very low overhead, it is a comfortable fit for me who has worked for other contractors that were very much interested in profiteering and not the well being of the people. Knowing I came onboard when the current contract was up for re-compete and award to another prime than that under which Lukos works. Lukos made this clear to me and did not attempt to snow me in any way. They are also very up front with potential employment opportunities and that each of us should act in our best interest which I appreciate. Overall this is a desirable company to work for.
Pros
Culture, ethical approach, and benefits
Cons
Small size limits placement opportunities

started out good, but ended badly
Project Manager (Principal Acquisition Specialist) (Current Employee) - Tampa, FL - May 11, 2014
Lukos is a small company wanting to grow with a PRIME company SRA. SRA is tainting Lukos, and making them loose their small company values and friendly focus.
Pros
No good items
Cons
work was on base
