Working with the government is one of the desirable for some people. Government jobs have proved to be the best in terms of compensation. Additionally, the government has been viewed as the most reliable supplier, with almost a null risk rate.
However, in regards to landing a government contract, it is never easy due to much competition. Furthermore, government contracts are a little bit complicated as compared to regular corporate contracts. The pricing mechanism is very different, as most of the contracts are long-term and some time may involve commissioning. Getting a Government contract also looks great for a Company’s reputation.
