      Review from Engineering

      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.

      Politics Are King

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In earlier times, was given a lot of independence to make the job my own. Compensation pretty generous for those willing to work hard and who have the opportunity to be recognized. Most employees work hard to maintain a professional and friendly environment.

      Cons

      As the company grew, more bureaucracy took hold; harder to get things done; every decision had to be made by a "committee". CEO and a couple of EVPs exert all the authority. No decision making ability or authority on any other level. CEO hires friends with questionable abilities and ethics to fill senior positions. Other managers not supported. Lower level employee performance is more lax and not challenged to improve. Managers who challenge them are not supported.

      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.
