It depends on which government, and what kind of stuff that agency does.
I don't find my government customers to be more or less chock full of red tape than my non-government ones. Sometimes my large corporate (utility) customers can be worse than even the National Parks Service, and generally always worse than local government.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoIn my experience, government is indeed much slower in approving outlays. There may of course be exceptions to that pattern. One of my interview questions for prospective bosses of mine, is something along the lines of: - Suppose I am on your team , and I want to develop a prototype/PoC, which costs $1,000, and you're okay with it - What is the process to get approval for it? - How much time elapses between starting the approval process and receiving funding/greenlight to start spending? In my current job, the answers were "if I'm okay with the idea, you can start immediately". In a previous one I left, it required CEO approval (hence why I ask now).
