Why are they bad?

They specialize in winning large government IT and software development contracts. They bill top dollar and drag projects on as long as possible, yet the people doing the actual coding are a bunch of Indians making like $20/hr (with all the quality you'd expect at that rate).

If you're looking for someone who can spend 6 months building one web page and charge you $2 million dollars for it, they're your guys.

Basically they're a giant leech on the public teat.

They definitely don't want to drag contracts out! They would lose money doing so. Follow-on work is usually due to the customers wanting to change or add to the objectives.

I guess it's more of a side effect of hiring unskilled devs. I meant more that they always go way over budget and schedule.
