Reply to: Vodafone gigs

forgot to mention that there is a ton of eye candy here too which is always a plus point in accepting any work!

Thanks, they may come back to me in a few months time.

On another positive note I don't have to fill in the AlexMan documentation :-) which included an opt out form even though I'd met the client previously.

Update: my gig's been cancelled. The end client isn't ready to do the work.

Sorry to hear that...but on a positive note, my gig has been extended to end of October

Newbury and I have to say that I enjoyed it there. I moved on in the cull last autumn but would go back there. i guess it's like every large company, there are good people and bad. IMHO, Vodafone had a large share of the former and practically none of the latter. I can't think of many companies I've worked for/at that I could say that of.

I totally agree. I worked there for most of 2006 and enjoyed it. I was based at HQ but also had to go to the business park and Theale. The working environment is relaxed and flexible. I met some good people and there is certainly an opportunity to network with so many contractors there!!

I would go back although it's a little bit further away than I would like.

Heh, That's no way to talk about the permies.

I spent three years or so at Theale and Newbury and I have to say that I enjoyed it there.

...the payment terms are 30 days which is a bit of a pain but think that once your contract is finished, then you still get paid for another month

...RR.

Are you quite so cheerful about not getting paid for the first month though...?

I've been with VF for almost a year now - I love working here!

AMS are the outsourced HR and the payment terms are 30 days which is a bit of a pain but think that once your contract is finished, then you still get paid for another month

And a big hello to anyone else working in the wonderful world of SAP!

Cheers,

I interviewed there last year with 2 of the dullest people I have ever met (apart from a Belgian at Compaq EMEA a few years back).

Needless to say, the pimp was surprised when I phoned him straight after and told him no chance...
