Great resources but falling behind

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great people to work with, very smart and have a lot of experience in the technology - Lots of money for cool projects

Cons

- Managers and senior management don't really care about career development that isn't leadership track (climbing the ladder to make the most money is more important) - Contract work makes it so you could have nothing to do one quarter but then drowning in work the next - Career growth is stunted by lack of funding for training and mentors being too busy to help or to provide 1-on-1 skill development - If you don't have a Top Secret clearance (that requires a polygraph test??) you will have almost no programs to work on, and management won't help you find any unclassified work
