Pros

Mid-level Managers have a good back ground and experience in the field. Some employees have been with the company for over 25 years and were instrumental in making the company grow into what it is today. An engineer new to the product lines can learn and grow alot by listening to the mid-level managers.

Cons

Things are changing and there is becoming more overhead type work. Security efforts have not made work any easier. As a whole there are now overhead encumberances that slow down the engineering efforts, which reflects negatively on the engineers.

Good for a first opportunity

Pros

A decent amount of flexibility, variety, and opportunities to take on new programs. Most employees are not stuck in departmental silos. Limited support staff and limited oversight means you have a lot of personal control.

Cons

DRS is a good place to start, but it offers limited opportunities to advance. It is less bureaucratic than larger defense firms, but it lacks strong communication to lower level employees.

Good company to work for

Pros

Work is often unique and challenging. Most colleagues are professional and respectful of each other. The quality of benefits are appreciated, dental, medical, 401k matching and tuition assistance among them.

Cons

Some coworkers do not take enough initiative. There is some disconnect at the management level with the needs of the employees. Limited opportunities for career advancement. Office consolidations and build-outs move ridiculously slow.
