Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits, flexible schedules, very few meetings. If you are lucky to be in the right group you can find interesting work.
Cons
Very high overheads with the result small and moderate businesses are winning out competing contracts especially BAAs. Self-patronizing management with no long-term vision. When the going was good with DoD contracts, hired lot of people. Now they are facing some tough times and several people have either left on their own or not finding enough work. Practically no innovation but lot of self-complacency that they are among the best (which they are not -- compare patents and awards at Lincoln Labs or JPL in comparison with GTRI). Too much emphasis on contract development and fund-rising.
