Haven't they just laid loads of people off?

I thought that was EDS/HP?

They have just sold off some of their divisions IIRC, so that counts I guess.

I work in a niche market... Largely unaffected by all the doom stuff

Logica are the nicest big consultancy I've ever worked with.

That's probably because you found a bunch of guys from CMG I'm told there are still pockets of resistance left in there although many did a runner at the time of the merger

[thunderlizard]

Correct, now you come to mention it.

I was working for a company once who engaged Logica to do some work for them.

For one "management" meeting they sent some trainee along to "watch as a learning exercise" and then had the nerve to bill for his time and travel expenses.

And half way through the job, with the design work they had done paid for, they decided that they didn't want to do the implementation phase of the project and walked away. (Company wanted to sue, but eventually decide not worth the bother)

I worked with them in Didsbury. Good bunch of people although never had anything to do with any bosses etc. They gave you free tea, coffee or soft drinks too.

I'd certainly work with them again.
