>To be clear, this isn't a knock against Mexican or Indian people. But the people working in these accenture buildings are literally writing code using windows notepad, in un-airconditioned rooms, and fired if they don't deliver on time. I just stopped reading after this. You are full of yourself. I had the chance to work with a team in Accenture Mexico, and they offices are nothing but great, just look at the pictures: https://foursquare.com/v/accenture/4cc081f11c6c6dcb00d8755e https://foursquare.com/v/accenture/4cc081f11c6c6dcb00d8755e Your entire comment is just a bunch of lies, not sure what you are trying to accomplish. I'm not defending Accenture over this lawsuit, but it seems that you bring so much hate with that comment.

I left Accenture upset by a number of the practices that I saw, even though I largely worked with very good people. I also was definitely overreacting when I wrote the above, as I am currently dealing with an issue with an overseas contracting team at the moment, and used the above comment to blow off some steam. I apologize for the vitriol. Monte Ray is the new facility they were building when I left. I'm happy to hear it might actually be a good building. When I left, it was explained to me that on Monday mornings, many of the Mexican development team were driven via school bus over the border to work in the SouthWest, and that as a result, American hiring was going to be at least temporarily frozen, and that they would be responsible solely for WPF applications. The line about un-airconditioned buildings and notepad is how the office we were working with in India was described to me by the manager in charge of that team on my project. I thought, given the similarities of those two stories, that conditions would therefore be similar to the Mexican office. I apologize for the mistake, and am happy to hear that I am wrong. Apologies for the incorrect comment.

I worked in Bangalore in 2005, (the city with the best weather among cities with tech offshoring offices). Even Bangalore had airconditioned offices. Second-hand bullshit is still bullshit.

Fine, have it your way. They work in great offices with healthy living conditions. The code they deliver is still buggy and deficient

1. That's a social media account, those tend to be curated. 2. It's an open office environment with very little desk space. Most of the in-office pictures are stuff on desks.

Are you seriously trying to prove the expertise of Accenture Mexico by posting a link to Foursquare?
