The pay is good and the caliber of the employees is generally great, but the HR department is severely lacking. - Anonymous employee Leonardo DRS Employee Review

Pros

The medical benefits for overseas deployed employees are awesome. Cigna International is, hands down, the best insurance I've ever had. They generally cover 90% of everything. The premiums are low. Flexible spending account. 401k with matching. The overall compensation is very competitive.

Cons

The HR department utterly fails. They leave you in the dark during the hiring process. There have been numerous pay problems that I've heard of and also experienced myself. You have to stay on top of them to manage your issues. Three years for any 401k vesting...

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.
