If rate is large enough take it, but you will probably spend your time training up ICT’s to replace you and get some skills they don’t have

Contracting at RBS

I worked there for 7.5 years! Five of them after they went bust.
They are quite a soft-touch as investment banks go but are quite unstable so expect rate cuts or forced holidays as the markets rock their boat.
Technically a bit crap but not the worst, I'm surprised they're hiring again.Comment

Did Rejects House up in Angel get closed down? That was a grim office to work in. You had to be in for 0730 to get a hot desk if you didn't manage to book a desk three weeks in advance. I only stayed for about two months. I was on the W&G project which we all know was a resounding success. It wasn't a bad place but the role I was doing just wasn't for me.Comment

Heard they have a reputation for 'hiring and firing' ie short contract spells or terminating contracts prematurely?
Feedback appreciated"Hope your doing fine". My favourite opening line in emails from certain agencies! Not only the fact they can't spell, but who actually says that?Comment
