Pros

1) Defense work creates a great sense of pride, knowing that you are designing equipment to help our military and the security of our country. 2) Competitive pay

Cons

DRS PCT has very intelligent employees and engineers, but management does not know how to apply resources to program needs. Position roles and task assignments change very frequently as emergencies surface and employees are not utilized per their strengths. Resource planning management could not be worse, which creates employee frustration and poor program performance.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
