Is it this?

BBC appointed Siemens

I have heard bad things about Siemens at the BBC (not specifically the above, but other projects).

Yawn

Get a job you bum.

[RichardCranium]

It sure would explain why you don't get banned...

Thanks for quoting MF, AtW.

MF, you are such a talentless, unimaginative Is lies the best you can manage? No wonder Auntie Beeb threw you out. Too wet and whingy, were you? Or is the truth that you flounced from all the political backstabbers there? Too tough for you, was it? Did you spend all day with your back to the wall, crying?

Bless. Skidders sacked by the Beeb. Even I could hold down a job there.

What a luser you are. Here, have a childish reaction you'll understand:

Had a phone interview with BBC, sounded like a 'Death March' project, they were in development, but some critical technical issues were yet to be resolved. Project was 4 years old FFS. Thanks, but no thanks.

Unless you are about to be repossed, I would not even think about.

Siemens have been attempting to replace an existing programming solution. It would not surprise if it's the same one. I wouldn't touch it with Flappys'.

Got an interview for Siemens working for BBC in White City site.

Anyone worked there? Good/bad place to work?

I just got like 60 rep points from you or something, are you a secret admin or something?

I do pack a mighty rep, 'tis true.

[AtW]

I didn't. Check it now. We have a funny fooker! How many points was it, we can narrow it down. 1 point for each 1000 posts approx if you're a 2005. If youre a johnny come lately it will be 1 or 2 points less.

It's bound to be RC again. He's been doing it for days.

That's all good, but why give me negative rep for posting my witty comment in this thread?

The guys name is very firmly in my black book. Rest assured if I ever come across the spineless prick again I will be punching him repeatedly very hard in the face

(I can hold grudges for years)

[badger7579]

Sounds peachy... Can't wait if an offer comes through

[AtW]

Only ever terminated contract. Sited, 'using the phone', 'talking to colleagues','not booking a day off properly'

[MarillionFan]

Ignore Richard he's a doley posting on a contractor board. His linkedin profile is hilarious.

Don't expect any autonomy with Siemens at the BBC. The processes are slow and unweidly and frankly they dont want 'get on with it' type people. I found Siemens was milking it and they will just drop you as quick as they can drop a hat.

I found the team disjointed and the BBC staff terrible. Awful politics and the worse waste culture of any public service.

[realityhack]

If it were just the Beeb I'd say approach with caution. Depending on the department there's a lot of politicos and primas - and workshy eejits - about. As it's Siemens, do not touch with the Holy Barge Pole Of All Lords.

Forsooth.

I've heard the (permie) money is aweful. I don't think I could work in such an environent. Advertising/PR agencies were luvvy/cliquey/Oh so superior enough - I think the BBC probably is off the scale in this respect..

I'll take IB permies any day over BBC types - at least the invoice makes up for the Tony the Tiger routines..
