FFS
UK Gov NEVER LEARN
Accenture / Arthur Anderson are just plain crap
Freelanced with them on the NI system back in the days of the DHSS at Blackpool
Grads charged at £1k per day (1988 money) their training consisted of 6 weeks and they charged the DHSS to use a stupid pseudo code system they had written themselves.
I was hauled before the line manager because I pointed out that it was impossible to do the calculation for a benefit when one field was a percentage and the other field was a character.
What is 10% of "yes" or "no" or "declined" !!!
They were £2bn over budget when I joined and it was still going 2 years later when I finally quit.
No heads rolled, unbelievable.
Their dress code manual was truly astounding.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
