> Unfortunately, the company was picking 4 random employee developers from across the organization each week. Oh god. I worked at Pivotal, and i saw something like this happen on one project. Four Pivotal Labs devs, four client devs; each client dev was with us for two weeks, so each week, we started with two new people, and two people with one week's experience on the project. Absolute madness. There was some weird politics, and i think the people running the project on the client side wanted it to fail, so this may have been an attempt at sabotage. The client devs were very sharp, and fully cooperative, so we did get some work and some training done despite all that. Common consulting L.
