They are a nightmare. I was part of a huge project to replace a large part of a telecom operators infrastructure. IBM global services ran the operators IT outsourced. The project failed after a year because of them. It was the 3rd such project to fail. The company in question couldn’t bring themselves to realise it had been their outsourced operators fault once again. Even though they had again lost the bid to do said work.
PwC/Accenture were worse. Hire arts graduates because they got a degree from a good university, chuck them on a 2 month coding/consulting course. Happy days $$$
- ogogmad 5y agoI once went to a job interview at Accenture. I remember the recruiter told me they only considered me because I went to a prestigious university. When I got there, they practically IQ tested me, were rude to me, and never contacted me again even after they said they would. The job was to write GUIs in C#. Listen up Accenture, I will drink expensive champagne when you go bust, or get bought.

- 7thaccount 5y agoNot getting contacted again was probably a blessing in disguise. They don't really do much, but kind of act like PMs, but aren't very effective as they don't know the business very well. I think they're generally only used when a company temporarily needs like 20 warm bodies to assist with a large project.
- curiousllama 5y agoYou’re right, but off by a few orders of magnitude. Think “need 200, get 2000” warm bodies
