Pros

The people on the floor.

Cons

Upper management. They have driven this place into the ground so much so that Finmeccanica has been forced to sell DRS. DRS employs a top heavy system, not to mention under or non-qualified people in key financial positions, i.e. in charge of buying and tooling; however, since some of those people rolled over on the last group of "leaders," they not only were able to stay, they were put into key positions. They are the reason this place is being sold off by Finmeccanica. A lot of peoples' lives are affected negatively and people are leaving this place in droves. It's disgusting.

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.
