DoD Integrator, Subcontractors Pullying Down and Wasting Millions

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some very well intended and capable VP leadership, many regular employees trying to do a good job and friendly.

Cons

Typical Integrator problem, bad apple VP's get in the door and throw cash indiscriminately at completely unqualified subcontractors with little hope of success. When people find significant problems and try to fix things, more money gets thrown at new outside contractors with little hope of even doing the job, but no one ever cares.
