"Mission critical" software companies (Score 1)

Not that I can name any of such possible employers, but software shops developing "Mission Critical" (i.e. aerospace control software etc) software would probably be looking for just the kind of employee you intend to be, right? Stability, dependability and long term loyalty would be key points they would look for in an employee. And furthermore I cannot see any reason why such shops would be set up anywhere but a dull, boring and slow paced small town somewhere.
