Sometimes consultants are brought in specifically to bypass whatever internal processes are in place. Those internal processes are sometimes the very reason not enough is getting done and external resources are brought in.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoI would say that GP comment definitely has a “normal teams are useless until consultants come in” view, which the parent comment also seemed to pick up on. Specifically, this part bugged me: > They would call us in when their devs couldn’t/wouldn’t do the work. We were pretty expensive by comparison, but at least we got the job done. This makes it seem like the developers just didn’t want to do the work or it was harder than their skill level, which, realistically, isn’t the case. FWIW I agree that consultants have their place, especially as a way to work outside of the typical system, but I’m not about to ignore that GP practically made it sound like consultants are better than regular developers.
