"Worked as contractor for a year, in the Richardson, Texas office. I was given the help and support needed to perform my responsibilities by the Management and also the IT support staff. I had the freedom to explore new technologies and incorporate in my work."
"The company is great to work for!"
"I worked for 5 years at DRS. It employs about 300 people. During that time, I was promoted from an internship to part-time and then to full time. My ideas were well received and expounded upon by my superiors, which greatly increased my professional growth and work experience. It also a really great social environment where people genuinely care about one another."
"Co-workers were the best team that I have ever worked for. Management was sometimes lacking as far as taking care of employees on a day to day basis. Though the benefits provided by the company were excellent. Too much attention to process check marks and not enough attention to making sure the right product was being developed. All in all, it was a good company to work for."
"I've worked for DRS for 6 years. The culture at the Cypress branch creates a business model that is doomed to fail. Other sites are better and are more stable with better growth opportunities for employees. The Cypress branch favors cronyism over technical knowledge."
"Very good company, good management and everyone is trying very hard to get an important job done right."
"DRS took care of me as an employee. I highly suggest working for them in the future and will make every attempt for my career to once again cross paths with that organization."
"Definitely not what it used to be. They brought in new upper management that drove a successful company into the ground. The people I dealt with day to day were awesome but morale was grave, your personal life and responsibilities don't matter, and unless you're prepared to kiss some serious behind, make sure you like your position because you're not moving up any time soon. Tons of talent and intelligence gets overlooked and wasted."
"I have worked for DRS for 7 years now and they have changed hands many times and I have made it through a lot of changes with this company. I have really liked the freedom that comes with the job and the family like atmosphere that is shared among the personnel."
