Pros

DRS Technologies gives you the feeling of priority on doing a good job. The company strives to bring a wide variety to the work place. Many of the benefits come from the manager that you work under. The manager you have determines the amount of respect and work load you get. The work environment is very clean and very relaxed. Employees’ are respectful and nice. Many of your co workers are eager to help and assist in any way they can despite the complexity of the request. Work is constant and is normally given a deadline. Vacation and sick time are given happily when needed.

Cons

Work load can be overwhelming and stressful when management fails to set a realistic date of completion. Employees that start as interns and move up into full-time positions many times do not get the pay they are deserving of. Communications between offices are mediocre at best which causes problems in finishing work. Communication inside the office is decent but with certain groups unable to retrieve needed data for work it makes for hard work that is unclear. Data collection and revision is disastrous when it comes to trying to make fast changes to documents and is hard to finish tasks in the time allotted.

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.
