Work with other competent software engineers on demanding projects, though rewards will be quietly intrinsic.

11yThanks for the nice things you've said. Things have grown a bit since this was posted in 2011. We do have a shallow management organization, because we're a small business, but growth has led us to delegate more to our senior people.
We're not sure we understand the comment about government work and a myopic value system. Perhaps you're referring to the fact that our government work is all research, and that does not always produce a successful (or good) outcome, So yes, at times the quality of the end result may not live up to the hopes we had at the start, but that happens in research: not all ideas pan out. And while some of our work is still classified, the balance has shifted since 2011; most of what we do now isn't classified.
In fact, we're doing quite a bit more commercial work than we were doing five years ago, so the mix has changed. We're still enthusiastic about our government-funded research, but our commercial app development has stepped up considerably. So it's a nice mix.
