Pros

Were bought by DRS in 2003. The company is very Defence orientated as I am. Having spent 24 years in the Marine Corps spit between Active and Civil Service I enjoy doing work that supports our war fighters. DRS is very diversified and support all the services and Homland Security and offers it people to apply and transfer within the company.

Cons

Lack of local management to make the hard decisions and the lack of our corporate organization to understand we are no longer a mom and pop organization. I do not believe our wages are up to par with the industry nor do they offer the best compensation packages within the industry.

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.
