Accenture - working for?

Sometimes you'll only ever know is by doing the gig.
Sign up for three months (or maybe shorter) and see how it goes.
Didn't hear positive things about current client co before I started but all in all it's been a decent gig, long commute aside.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I never worked for them (was invited for a permie interview which was a group one which I declined),but I have worked a lot with them. Total and utter nightmare incompetent to the nth degree, have no clue what they are doing and are only relying on their name as a big 5 consultancy. Many clients do know this though, but they only take them on to confirm what everybody already knew, so now they can say Accenture said so, so now we can cut x-thousend jobs.Comment

Worked with them a lot but not for them.
If you enjoy managing a gang of under-performing Bobs that deliver sh*t systems and enjoy spending your time explaining to the client why the system they paid £m for bears no relation to the requirements or expected business outcomes ......
Then again contract is a contract and if you've got nothing lined up ....Comment
