....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.

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 did a year there. The programme plan changed significantly every week...

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"...

You make it sound like this is the exception rather than the rule within large corporates.
