Not personally but I know a few people who have contracted there. Almost went there myself a couple of years back but interview frightened me stupid - could not believe how disorganised they were and the amount of money they were spending to not actually deliver anything! -

I turned up for an interview with them only to be told that the spec had changed and that the gig was actually now a shift role covering 24 hours!!!
I choked on my coffee and told them "no thanks"..."If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

....and I'll second that as I was there at the same time. I hated it. There were some good people on the role, but there were some complete w@nkers who seemed to have the whole thing divided up so that they got all the good stuff and everybody else got the cr@p roles. They wanted me to do another 6 months and I told them what they could do with it.
It would have to be a lot of money to get me back there. Didn't help that I found out that I had 2 agents taking a cut of £100 per day between them.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
