  • Easy to move around to different positions.

Cons

There are always money issues.

Management is constantly finding ways to reduce/cut overhead costs to keep a competitive advantage (which sometimes means job cuts).

Not the best place for real software engineering (hardly any in-house development, mainly COTS).

Advice to Management

Thriving companies are developing their software in-house for their specific needs. Management will tell you Boeing is not a software company. Boeing lost the Bomber contract to Northrop Grumman (NG). I interviewed with NG, and the very first thing they said was, "We are a software company."
