Pros

Overal a good place to work, until you are older or management changes.

Cons

The loyalty to older employees is somewhat lacking. A youth oriented culture the last few years. There are not always provisions for educational benefits for non-exempt employees. Even though it is a benefit.

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.

Pros

There are teams of people who join together and succeed.

Cons

Work weekend after weekend with no end in sight, or appreciation. Family comes second if you want to have more than even fluff of a raise. Mismanagement has caused several failures in programs across the board that have affected the number of employees "down sizing". Since management cannot run programs correctly, eventually the worked will be farmed out to subcontractors. FWB will be reduced dratatically in the next five years.
