My day started at 7:00am and lasted until 5:00pm.  I learned all about the deeper level of test required to develop and new software and hardware system for mission planning the US Navy's aircraft.  Management was excellent and really looked out for me when I had a major medical issue when I first started working there.  My co-workers were very supportive and always available to help.  The hardest part of my job was by far the communications security that was involved in my work.  I was in charge of hundreds of items that needed to be inventoried daily and were very difficult to keep track of.  While I was successful at the job and did very well, the company decided that two people needed to replace me to ease the burden on the lab manager.  The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing the need for my services throughout the lab and how my part really did make a difference and was not some abstract idea that had to be explained to me to remind me of my worth.

A typical day at work would go as follows:  Daily Morning Meetings followed by tasking that was assigned from the various program managers throughout the company.  As I complete tasking I then do a process/product audit followed by more meetings throughout the afternoon.  The hardest part of my job is interacting with all the different people across the different projects and staying on top of all the tasking from the many different projects I support.  The most enjoyable part of my job is the daily interaction I get to have with my co-workers.  DCS is a great working enviornment with a work hard play hard attitude.  DCS is a company that provides their employees many different ways to succeed.

Great company to work for!  DCS Corporation creates innovative technology solutions for their customers and seeks to develop successful working relationships to ensure that they meet their customers’ expectations and get the job done right. The value that DCS places on ensuring customer satisfaction is based on a strong corporate culture of empowerment, innovation, responsiveness, and professional excellence. The transformative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit that characterize the nearly 1,000 employee-owners allow DCS to ensure success of each client’s mission and actively contribute to the well being of the Nation.

DCS is built on an environment that treats its employees as family members. As an employee owned company, many of the executive representatives within the company act with their employees interest at heart while simultaneously not compromising workplace efficacy and quality hiring practices to appease squeaky wheels. There is good communication between DCS as a contracting company and the customer (in this instance, the Navy) which allows employees to handle their day to day responsibilities without being limited by a toxic contractor-government relationship. The company is constantly expanding and benefits are improving upon their already good quality.

I have  been with DCS Corp for more than 12 years.  I have stayed with DCS, because they have looked after me and provide me wonderful opportunities.
I have worked with DCS Corp across more than four different contracts, supporting Army, Air Force, and Joint contracts.
Daily activities depend upon the type of support you provide under the contract.
Management of DCS is fantastic.  On an annual basis, the CEO and COO meet with the employee-owners at their work location to discuss how their company is doing and the projections.  These "Table Talks" provide the employee-owner an excellent opportunity to be informed and to interact directly with the CEO and the rest of the leadership.

A company founded on the principles of trust and integrity. DCS is able to meet and exceed customer expectations by executing swiftly, communicating fully, and performing with uncompromising excellence. The DCS culture is grounded in the belief that the personal achievements of our employees drive their job satisfaction and the effectiveness, responsiveness, and innovation that they provide to our customers.

Employees who join DCS, an established, mature company, enjoy the tangible benefit of our corporate reputation for excellence earned over more than 35 years of customer service. DCS employees are an extension of the company, and the benefits that each employee receives are competitive and diverse.

I started little over a year ago and was very excited. As time went on I got to see numerous people at my level and above me be under paid, overworked and ignored when asked to be compensated for their work. The wrong people get promotions, recognition and awards. To a point where a lot over the personnel have started just doing the bare minimum. There is no incentive to get certifications, education or to even strive to do better in a work environment when you are clearly a cog in the machine. Do not get me wrong I enjoy the people that work with I believe that my supervisor doea his best and bats for all his employees. But it's the company itself.

As long as you do your job and fill out your time card daily, you aren’t bothered. They do require everyone to do a monthly status report that can be a little intense at first until you get used to it. The company is definitely growing, but still small enough that they actually care about each individual employee and they are really good about passing on good things they hear about you, but the environment can be a little stressful due to the fact each year you have to worry about whether funding will get approved or not by the government. Pay is very good and the benefits aren’t bad at all either, they match up to 4% in your 401(k).

What is the best part of working at the company?
Versatile assignments 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Tight turn around of extensive programs coupled with minimal support monetarily and personnel, with a poor team mentality. New customer/company leadership lack commitment to the tasks and only interested in self promotion. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company is only interested in financial gain, not personnel. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Multiple outside clients and programs, fast paced and minimal support to accomplish tasks or programs.

The company has treated me very well. I think the leadership in this area is quite good. As defense contractors go, they are a good one. Of course, as a defense contractor, the employee experience depends very much on the contract and particular government customer. Many employees spend 100% of their time embedded with the customer, in which case it's difficult to judge the company over the customer. That has been my situation. Good project doing important work to solve real problems, but the government bureaucracy wasted our capabilities and ruined the job. DOGE has its work cut out for it.
