Reply to: Anyone worked for Getronics?

[G8_Summit]

I used to work at Barclays as a contractor.

The Getronics guys there are all top guys. Run by muppets from all accounts, but the team themselves are sound people with good skills.

They used to be Barclays permie people before Getronics took over.

Wilmsloooooooowwwww.

You've obviously been there, 3 miles from anywhere and nothing to do at lunch other than watch the squirrels...

Did you never discover the gym, squash courts, playing fields, putting green, bowling green, tennis courts and five-aside pitches or the pub over the road?

The there's the Beer Festivals. Well, they don't have them any more for some strange reason.

deal is not really that good tbh, permie PM job.... 30k.

Honestly? 30k for a PM. Why would you?

Have a proper think about it mate. Don't do it to yourself!!

I've worked At Radbroke - twice!!!

Not enough parking spaces iirc.

Was OK when I was up there, mind you I only did a few days doing a handover.

Yep, many places 'out of the way' are like that.

Taunton being another prime example...

it's just full of badly paid Barclays (any co?) permies who are counting down the days till their pensions, very depressing.

But aren't the vast majority of places like that? I think I've worked in 1 client over the last 5 years where I'd say that case didn't apply.

[shelby68]

Regardless of the client I wouldn't work at Barclays in Knutsford again for gold bars (well maybe, but it would have to be a lot) the place is depressing I used to work there with Accidenture, we used to call it the village of the damned, it's just full of badly paid Barclays permies who are counting down the days till their pensions, very depressing.

If they go for DA enterprises as a supplier they could go from shiiiite to Briiilll overnight. Things I do for people

[TheFaQQer]

If the rate and location are good do you really care?

If they offer IR35 unfriendly contracts, pay late and go bust, then yes I would!

[Wilmslow]

hahaah!

well i think thats a resounding keep clear then if ever I heard one!

seriously though.... i've had my doubts, couple of my colleagues say they are rubbish but I wanted to get a wider picture!

deal is not really that good tbh, permie PM job.... 30k.

but it's the only interview i've landed so far.

so whats the score then chaps, they just badly organised, treat staff badly?
