Pros

Flex time is ok - that, is if your 'supervisor' approves; Paid vacation/holidays; 9/80 calendar; flexible working environment. Decent place to start. You will be bored, because there are a select few that do actual work - more time to update your resume.

Cons

Office politics run rampant every day, all day - the more you try to avoid it, the more it pulls you in. At DRS, there is no "I" in team, there is no "team" period. Misery loves company?

Excellent work life balance. Professional leaders in the radar field. Deeply involved with interesting signal processing problem solving. Small teams.

Salary limit compared to big tech companies. Defense company limitations (e.g using latest generative AI tools). Less software professionals (need to improve the software development pipeline)
