Good people, with good intentions, trying to build good products at glacial speeds - Engineering Manager General Dynamics Land Systems Employee Review

Government programs are glacial. Development cycles are measured in decades. If you need constant reinforcement, probably not the best place to work. Sometimes more iimportant the time (money) you spend than the product you build. Government programs are also very susceptible to cuts as administrations and military adjusts their purchasing requirements - adds volatility and drops job security as a result.
