I did 6 months at BZW (remember them?) and 2 years at BarCap in fixed income in the 90's.

It was after an on-site Beer Festival which also featured a couple getting caught on CCTV shagging in the squash courts. I was on holiday at the time and missed it!
You never really appreciate some sites until you leave do you?

Do any of you guys who once worked at Radbrooke, remember a guy who 'stole' a coach on the way home from a work do night out (or something along those lines) cos the driver wasn't there when they all arrived back at site and wanted dropping off at home, so decided to drive it himself and wrapped it around a lamp-post on site? I think his name was Woods, not sure but was certainly a 'classic' and doing the rounds when I was there.

You can do practice runs, which are quite cheap.

I've been at Radders too, twice...
Once on an Andersons project, the second it was Xansa (formerly "Feminists International Group").

Worked for Barclays: Enable which is basically the banks IT infrastructure group. I was there a few times, had its good and bad points.
Good points being, long gigs, the fact that you could hide in a corner and get a good long contract out of it. Lots of opportunity to go from team to team on different contracts. I was at Radders too, so the environment was good to work in.
Bad points, contractors are usually in via their preferred agency and as such quite a static contract, not much room for ir35 negotiations. Every now and they they have a purge on contractors, something like take a 20% rate cut or leave.
