Low Stress, High Inertia
Low Stress, High Inertia
In the defense division, jobs are low stress. You can take your time on any task. It's a good opportunity for self-motivated individuals to deep dive into a technology and direct their own learning.
Working on defense contracts, it is impossible to fail. When the money runs out, the bar will be set to wherever the work ended. This is an ideal environment for the lazy and the inept. Engineers only need to have a pulse so they can charge hours to a contract. You are free to do a good job if you want, but no one will notice or care. Most talented people move on, creating a Dead Sea effect among the engineering workforce. The company has no incentive to change because, for defense contracts, this business model is profitable.
