Pros
DRS Technologies has some very good core technologies. They have been beneficiaries of supplemental war funding since 2005 which has enabled growth. Some very good talent in the company, but those who do not leave or are layed-off tend to be sheep or political manipulators.
Cons
Management style is very inner circle. Executive management is uncommunicative and uncollaborative. Reorganizations and layoffs are an annual event, so the culture is one of fear. Management changes constantly. Very little if any healthy risk-taking, largely because employees cannot expect management support. Annual reorgs and layoffs are a diversion from the real problem--lack of management vision and guts. Many of the best people--those who know the answers but management is too egotistical to collaborate with--have either left the company or been layed-off. A sad state of affairs.
