Pros

Starting pay is great, opportunities to explore old technology, in new ways by people with zero experience is a common task.

Cons

Toxic personality’s, like a wave there are times of high and low stress. Many people have been with DRS there entire career, and some have become tyrants, which breeds new tyrants. The organization is very siloed, and CYA is standard. If you like fake smiles and playing politics with people that need their ego stroked you’ll go far. Be warned, after starting pay increases will be 1-5% with 2% on average, bonuses don’t exist, and you’re expected to like it. Changing roles can have a pay bump but it can come with a trial period.

Pros

Multiple programs to work with so job security right now is good. Not micromanaged. Extra perks throughout year including discounted pro sport games. Free coffee and tea.

Cons

While computer equipment is new and up to par some industry tools have to be bought when we already needed it. Due to government customer usually we design to their desire not ours. Some of our suppliers give us grief. Due to government speed sometimes our speed is really slow then really fast.
