Pros

There is plenty of work to go around, as the Commercial Satellite Customer is aggressive and has scheduled project tasks for 14 to 18 months.

Cons

There is quite a lot of "Job Security" within this organization of Boeing. The original design came from a now-closed organization of Motorola, and the people are very senior employees.

Also, the Core Network uses a mix of 2G and 3G GSM technologies, while the latest technologies use 4G and LTE.

Advice to Management

It is time to bring down the walls that you believe do not exist. It is also time to stop allowing your customer to change the direction of projects well into the schedule.
