Defense companies sell butts in chairs. They know the game and play it well. I remember working on defense and the PM was pushing me to reduce hours. I was costing the project over $500/hr. The IC who was working with me could work all he wanted though, due to the way his costs were billed.

Working at that place, I heard stories from other defense veterans detailing massive, unending incompetence and graft.
