That’s actually not true. I work for a fairly small contractor (a few hundred people) working on a fairly large government contract. It started with a handful of people when the company was a fraction of the size.

I'm very happy to be proven wrong. I must admit that I know very little about the process, other than what I've read, and what I've read hasn't been positive. But, I'm sure that small, successful projects aren't talked about nearly as much in the press as large, unsuccessful projects, so it could simply be bias in what I'm reading.
