Normally, only two types of people work for Accidenture.
1. Young grads expecting to go out and take on the world, get put into positions they can't handle delivering presentations about outcomes that never reach fruition. they get burned out and have a breakdown after three years.
2. Very very very cheap low grade techies.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

When MyCo contracted there, it was at the highest rate that it ever achieved, to date.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

I have been on their list of vetted contractors before but I was never available when they needed me. My advice would be to make sure your contract is reviewed and that your responsibilities and deliverables are clear otherwise you will be getting into conflict with them - they are hard taskmasters.Comment

Originally posted by redgiant View PostWorked alongside them for a few years on a major programme in the City and I got the same impression too. There are some who manage to stay on and get promoted up the ranks but the vast majority who I worked with left after a few years at the coal face.

I fondly remember the several days of down tools and walk outs that they did when I worked along side them when the end client didn't pay them after several months. I didn't ask the few contractors who worked through them on what impact it had on their invoices so I would be especially careful when reviewing their contract.Comment
