      yeah alot of the support was out sourced to IBM a while at JPM, now its been moved back in house and not sure if computer people are still involved.

      was contracted to Computacenter based at Goldman Sachs a while back - when I started Spring where running things and after Computacentre took over they insisted we all changed our agency from spring to Computer People. (but I'm not sure if Computer People are the 'official' agency to Computacenter...)

          They are on the list for AZ along with Elan and Lorien.
          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!

            I've never had that pleasure. In fact the only company I've got any negative opinion on are CP - they're the Foxton's of contract agencies IMO.

                I think CP would be flattered by that. To be fair to Foxtons they have "raised the bar" in the estate agency world. They may be a tad on the spivvy side but they are a very effective business.

                  To DA,
                  The problem as I see it is that the amount of bull sh1t that CP has brainwashed the client with. They put across that CP have temp staff (contractors) on their books. many of the contractors are treated like employees of CP and treated like temps by the end client.

                  If you want “inside” information I think you should at least give the name of your agency so we can knock on your door when needed.

                    I would assume that DA is providing something back to us all on this Forum for all this "Useful info"?

                      I think DA's agency is called Hoxley, or something like that.
